Right...I would put Eleanor Roosevelt as WWI generation (born 1884), although her husband was President during WWII.

I would say the first First Lady of the Greatest Generation would be Lady Bird Johnson.

Interestingly, Jackie Kennedy would have been silent generation (only 12 when USA entered WWII).

Pat Nixon, Betty Ford, Nancy Reagan - WWII generation
Rosalynn Carter - Silent generation (14 when USA entered WWII).

I write With sincere respect for your right to give your opinion, but as a Vietnam era vet, I could not possibly disagree with you more. Indeed, I had to read it again real slow just to make sure you were saying what I thought I read the first time.

And, I will just shut up before I get myself into trouble.

“Lady Bird Johnson.”

Except she was rather hated by Vietnam veterans.

I’d count her in for being married to JFK, as you know, who was in WWII.
