Poppa, and Seven Uncles all gone as well as all my old mentors from Scouts, work and church. All gone and missed every single day. They took no crap. They were fair in praise and punishment for the most part and expected great things of me. No matter what, Dad always asked if I had done my best. If I had given all I could to the task. Good was never good enough for him and that was right.
What happened to the Boomer Generation? How did the Greatest Generation raise such a bunch of miscreants?
The few miscreants are on TV all the time because the left wing entertainment industry loves them. Two million boomers served proudly in Vietnam and most have worked, paid taxes and raised their families in quiet anonymity. Boomers elected Ronald Reagan -- twice.
Don't buy the manufactured media stereotype of the Boomer generation. It ain't true.
