Do you think the so called greatest generation was really so great?

It's just a label that someone stuck on a group of people, but considering what was accomplished during their time and the hardships they endured, yeah they were pretty great. Of course, every generation has its moments, but "the greatest generation" produced the world we both enjoy today that also contains many of the problems because of what they did and didn't do, knowingly and unknowingly. Overall though, I think they did a great job with what they had and deserve credit for it. In my experiences, people from that generation are interesting and fun to speak with, are respectful and filled with awe, have regrets, and tried their best. And, they did accomplish some pretty monumental things.

We can only hope future generations will revere us for our contributions and forgive us for our transgressions.
