The Greatest Generation
The "Greatest Generation" refers to people born roughly between 1901 and 1927, who experienced the Great Depression and went on to fight in World War II, often characterized by their resilience, strong work ethic, and commitment to duty due to the hardships they faced during these times.
As we remember the World War II heroes, it's important to acknowledge the sacrifices of the 16.4 million Americans who served, and the dwindling number of WWII veterans alive today, with less than 1% remaining. We must continue preserving their stories and ensuring their legacies endure.
We encourage veterans to share their stories and experiences with younger generations to ensure that their legacies are not forgotten.
