The 1950s was a time that the veterans of World War 2 were still being celebrated. Their actions helped to bring the country back from the affects of the Great Depression and their success in the war as well as the well-being and sense of accomplishment other citizens felt had more impact than previous experiences. It was a time of rebuilding and new opportunities.
