Children’s book review: ‘The Greatest Generation’

“The Greatest Generation” is slipping away. The Department of Veteran’s Affairs estimates that there are now 66,000 surviving WWII veterans.

By the 2040s, they will have all passed away. But this is not an article about dying, it is instead one of how they lived — and oh, how nobly did they live.

The Greatest Generation were indeed “Great.” They were the children of the Great Depression, enduring a time of unending want. Yet from this era of abject poverty arose a generation of adults possessed of the courage and fortitude to triumph magnificently during World War II — The Greatest Generation.
