Early Years and Ambitions: Issues
In 1929, the American economy had collapsed and millions were out of work. Families were uprooted as they moved across the country searching for work. Former governor Terry Sanford discusses how growing up during the Great Depression and helping his family make ends meet influenced his life.

In the winter of 1944, Hitler unleashed thousands of men and tanks into Belgium in a last fateful attempt to break the Allied forces arrayed against him. The battle that followed has become known, in the annals of history, as the Battle of the Bulge. Terry Sanford was wounded during the battle and later received a Purple Heart.
