[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

I don't think there was a greatest generation. I personally feel each generation does it's duty when they go off to war. Whether it be the Dough Boys of WW1, my father's generation during WW2, Korea, mine in Vietnam, those in Desert Storm, or the men and women of today. Each puts their life on the line for our country. I salute them all.

It so happens today my salute goes to those of WW2 and their efforts on the beaches of France.

I have always been a bit leery of using the phrase because the giants shoulders we stand upon includes all those who have served.
I do wonder if modern conveniences and the relative ease with which we live our lives makes us softer with the passing of time.
Which is obviously not to imply that it is universally true just generally.
