Actually, you are missing the Silent Generation. They were born old enough to remember the Depression, but too young to fight in the War II. Their claim to fame is always trying to live up to the GG’s accomplishments.
Their war was Korea. They were the young kids in the back of the room during the moon launches.
More than the Greatest Generation, or the boomers, they are responsible for the crap we are in today. Their inferiority complex during their time in the seventies caused us to fail miserably.
They are the only Generation without a President. That is how weak they were as a whole.
(Yes, I know there are plenty of Silents out there who have done wonderful things. We are talking Generations here...The Silents were the parents of late boomers and early X’ers.)
Very interesting observation about the “Silents.” I have not heard that before. Will take some pondering.
