The other greatest generation?

"With all due respect to Tom Brokaw, there is no single greatest generation in our nation’s history. Many contributed to America, some protecting us in times of war and others advancing the ideals that make us uniquely American. But today we seem to praise only the warriors and ignore the contributions others have made. Case in point is the contrasting perception of Brokaw’s World War II generation, what he called “the Greatest Generation,” and their offspring, the baby boomers." Kansas City Star
