        And just a few years after this photo was taken, those kids likely got first-hand experience of what he was telling them....

        Notice the boots and the shoeshine boxes. My grandpa started selling newspapers at 8 years old. Started in the slums of Chicago when Chicago got its reputation. He pulled his family out of poverty by working almost everyday he was alive. #america

        My father, as an 8 yr old in 1933, was told tales of the Civil War by a veteran. Almost 80 yrs later I listened to him telling a young boy about WW2...oral history is alive & well.

        Having Army veterans teach us about warfare would be an improvement over arm chair warriors who glorify battles they sent others to fight.

        My father, now 91, has such memories. A Confederate vet of Shiloh lived next door for a time.

        We as a society need this now. The older, wiser generation telling us about the past, so we can deal with the present and the future.
