The Greatest Generation Speaks

Inspired by Tom Brokaw's bestselling book, The Greatest Generation, members of the World War II generation and their families speak for themselves in these powerful letters -- and Brokaw reflects on why their lives of difficulty and triumph continue to strike such a deep chord in Americans today. Millions of people around the world have read and loved Tom Brokaw's book about the World War H generation and how ordinary people, through lives of duty, honor, and courage, gave us the America we have today. Thousands of people wrote letters to Brokaw about how The Greatest Generation provoked a reevaluation of their own lives and the experiences of their parents and grandparents, bringing families together around a core of memories and beliefs -- stories of war, love, family, faith, and country. From the thousands of letters he received, Tom Brokaw has selected some that capture in raw and beautiful detail everyday lives richly lived, lives of courage, achievement, and honor, rooted in a core of values that made a people and a nation great.

One represented deprivation, sacrifice, and hard-won prosperity; the other, greatly expanded opportunity and, even during Vietnam, more personal choices.

Those differences led to some historic and well-documented rifts-indeed, to a cultural revolution that since has cooled. Now, based on many of the letters I received, as the boomers grow older they also become much more aware of what their parents had endured and the legacy of their early challenges.

In watching her father care for her mother after a debilitating stroke, Janet McKeon of O'Fallon, Illinois, realized that the strength of their relationship grew out of their war experience.
