Well said hater. And I wonder the same thing about today's America....to what extent we would be able to step up, as that generation did. I still have a deep belief that we would find it in us, as a nation, but it certainly remains deeply hidden for the most part.
I sit with my jaw open as the world, along with way too much of our own country, applauds our new president for promoting his populist philosophies in place of Reagan's capitalist views.
But anyway, it was that generation that guaranteed that we could even be here to discuss it.
From time to time I watch the first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan, as I've heard in quite a few documentaries that it is the most realistic recreation of "see you on the beach" ever made. Always hits me, every time, reminding me of how "easy" my life really is by comparison.
