I work for the V.A....and every one of those old gentlemen I have the priviledge to meet I thank, and let them know, one more time, that they saved the the world, and then built a nation.
I wish we had their strength and honor again, to fight the enemy within, but alas, they have earned their rest.
It’s too bad they raised a generation of hippies and socialists (I know, not all the boomers are jerks).
Yeah- thanks a lot for sticking us with Social Security and Medicaid and Medicare
I disagree with Brokaw’s characterization of the WWII Generation as the “Greatest” Generation, but there is no doubt they did some great things. I’ve had generations on my mind recently because of the Huffington Post’s new site “Huff/Post 50”, which has had a very weak launch, and is generating a great deal of anger because of the disingenuous way it is presenting Generation Jones (between the Boomers and GenXers). I know some are urging a boycott of H/P 50 for now, and trying to get the new editor—Debra Ollivier—fired unless GenJones is treated accurately. In any event, the WWII Generation had its great and not so great moments, like all generations.
