Actually, they are not. The generation before the boomers is “The Silent” generation. The only Generation that did not come up with a President.
Good memory about the Silent Generation.
A lot of the 1960s Red Diaper babies and leftwing political activists that ‘Boomers get blamed for were actually Silent Generation.
Trump is the generation before the boomers
I am pre boomer
My sister is boomer
Based on my familiarity with Free Republic, I think pre boomers are under represented in your statistics
To me they will always be the Greatest. Survivors of the Depression and World War II. They were tough, hard core tough...I was raised by them; nearly every adult I knew was one when I was growing up.
I thank them every day for teaching me so much, but mostly to keep going- one foot in front of the other, always moving forward when times are tough if need be. Keep getting up and showing up. No whining, others always had it worse. They didn’t raise snowflakes for sure. So much heart, so much wisdom, common sense which they learned from the school of hard knocks. They were/are the Greatest in more ways than one. I miss them so much, too few left.
