Tom Brokaw spoke of "The Greatest Generation." My comments are broadly directed to what I refer to as the "Selfish Generation," acknowledging exceptions. Prior to both, there was the generation of immigrants who gave root to the above and to whom I can never express my profound gratitude for laying the foundation, making it possible for me and you to be called Americans. Not speaking the language and many with just the clothes on their back, they followed the process of strict rules and law for an orderly, legal entree into this wonderful country.
