The WPA was created by Executive Order 7034, on May 6, 1935. Among it's many accomplishments, the WPA built, repaired, and improved tens of thousands of schools.
So, what will we, as a nation, do to commemorate the 8.5 million men and women who helped build, repair, and improve our schools and who, in many cases, subsequently served in the military and defense industries during World War 2 to preserve the freedom we have to utilize these schools?
Answer: Nothing.
Isn't that amazing?
