Default The Greatest Generation: "It was my duty, son."

"I called my father – by that point retired from a half-century career in dairy distribution – from the lobby of the movie theater, enquiring how he had done it: How did he leave that landing craft facing imminent death? His simple answer was, 'It was my duty, son.' "

I hold the people who fought for us in the utmost, highest esteem - The Greatest Generation.

"Duty" is a word I fear many of our younger generations have no concept of, nor its meaning.
