In between "THE GREATEST" and the BOOMERS is a tiny cohort called WAR BABIES!

They didn't live through the GREAT DEPRESSION, they didn't fight in WWII nor Korea, but were there for the Cuban Missile Crisis and the early days of Nam.

You’re right, of course. And I think we’ve lived through the best years America has to offer. I’m grateful.

I fully agree.

I’ve always referred to myself as a War Baby, not one of the Silents. ...Born 9 1/2 months after the Pearl Harbor attack, I was too young for WWII and Korea.

Finished my Navy active duty about 2 weeks before the Cuban Missile Crisis in ‘62, when most on active duty had their enlistments extended for a year.
