The Greatest Generation: Defenders of Freedom
The Greatest Generation, born between 1901 and 1927, lived through the Great Depression and fought in World War II. Their resilience and dedication earned them the moniker ‘The Greatest Generation,’ coined by journalist Tom Brokaw. They were instrumental in defeating fascism and rebuilding economies post-war, fostering an era of unprecedented growth and prosperity.
Characterized by their strong work ethic and loyalty, members of this generation valued duty and sacrifice. They were the architects of the modern welfare state and played a crucial role in establishing institutions like the United Nations. Their experiences instilled a sense of collective responsibility and civic duty, influencing the socio-political landscape for decades.
