I happen to agree wholeheartedly that my parents were part of the Greatest Generation. They got through the Depression only to run smack dab into a brutal World War. My Uncle Thomas was killed in action in Eastern France in January of 1945. Four months later off of Okinawa, my dad was aboard the USS Drexler when it was sunk by two kamikazes. 158 sailors were killed but my dad survived the blast and was picked up hours later by a PT boat. There are countless stories such as these. This song (originally written as a poem/prayer by a WW II nurse) is a reminder of the price paid by The Greatest Generation.
