I remember bacon grease and saved string from my own youth (I’m a Baby Boomer). I thought my parents were kooks!
Just think of the generations that suffered through WWI, The Great Depression and then WWII! I don’t think I will be as courageous as those fine people...

Agreed. I am so proud of my parents for having served in WWII. So many brave men and women. Imagine living through all of that, or even a part of it. It had to be so frightening to them, but they did what they had to do, and without complaint.
