Nobody will call my generation, the “Boomers,” the “Greatest” anything. Our iconic moment was Woodstock. We did effect a good deal of social change. And most of that was good.
I think Generation X and the Millennials are wonderful people - not sure I’d call them “the Greatest” either, but they have done some pretty amazing things.
Ah, but the generation now in High School? Now they really ARE great. Perhaps they haven’t stormed the beaches. I hope they never have to. But they won’t be spending their time idly sunning themselves on the beaches, either. This is a generation with talent and sense of mission. We will be in good hands.
