The Greatest Generation
. They are the Americans who came of age during the Great Depression, fought in the
Second World War, and went on to build America. They stormed the beaches at Normandy, they smashed Hitler's Fortress Europe, they Rosie-the-Riveted a thousand warships, they saved the world.

"It is, I believe, the greatest generation any society has ever produced," said Tom Brokaw in his book, “The Greatest Generation.” They gave the world new science, literature, art, industry, and economic strength unparalleled in the long curve of history.
