As remarkable as their resolve in the war was, it is just as remarkable what they achieved in the rest of their lives. Maybe it was because of standards of conduct that they established for themselves, or the sacrifices that they witnessed, or what they realized could be accomplished. All the while carrying the burden of what they went through.
My feeling is that we hit a high water mark in this country as that generation came into their prime, and it is a mark that we will never see equaled. |
