Pretty amazing. Civil War veterans lived to see several generations of motor vehicles and airplanes. WWI veterans have lived to see personal computers and iPhones.
And The Greatest Generation, who prevailed through so much, who paid so dearly, must now in their twilight years endure Øbozo.
My grandfather was born in the late 1880’s and lived for over a hundred years. He saw the invention of, electric lights, automobiles, planes, refrigerators, air conditioning, rockets, moon landings, the birth of the computer age and the list is endless. His first job when he left home was working for a cattle ranch in Texas on horseback. The old men he knew as a boy went back to a time when much of America was still a wild land. The old men those men knew as a boy predated the country. We are only a few acquaintances removed from the events of the past.
