Interesting post. My Dad is 91, a WWII and Korea vet and still busting his butt (and mine). All that time away meant he didn't marry until fairly late so I'm a '67 model. Guess that makes me a tail end Boomer?

My last living uncle died yesterday. Born in 1921, he was a pilot in the 9th Air Force in Europe in WWII. Lived a long life and worked hard. Enjoyed it fully.

We can gripe about various generations but I look at my kids, their friends and the young folks serving in the armed forces today and how hard they work when given the chance and know that every generation has its great people and dregs as well. The biggest issue I see now is how splintered our society has become. I'm not sure how that will be overcome in the future.
