“March of Dimes is an American nonprofit organization that works to improve the health of mothers and babies. The organization was founded by US president Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938, as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, to combat polio. The name “March of Dimes” was coined by Eddie Cantor as a pun on the newsreel series The March of Time. ” Wikipedia. Founded back in the day when a dime was worth 10 cents!
In 1952 over 21000 Americans were diagnosed with Polio one of those was a very nice lady I would come to know in the 1970’s and who had been confined to a wheelchair for the last 25 years.

He would be rejected for service by the US Army during World War 2 but would enlist into the Army Air Corp instead!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
