You missed an entire generation that was born between both -of the ones you mentioned.

Yup. That’s my generation. I believe they dubbed us the Silent Generation. Roughly 1925-1942. Not sure why it’s not up to 1945 since 1946 is the commonly accepted start of the Boomer Generation.
I was born in ‘44, I am a member of the forgotten generation. Some try to say I am a boomer but that can’t be right, the baby boom started after the war ended in ‘45.
It is 1925 to 1945, and there is no such generation as “the greatest generation”, the media just created a vague, WWII associated “generation”.
