Oh how I wish that this generation could regenerate even a little bit of that self sacrificing, life loving, patriotic fervor that my fathers generation lived with. A time when little things meant a lot...July 4th, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Friday nights at the drive-in theater. Saving enough money to buy our first home, giving a little more of ourselves to help some little kid buy the baseball uniform that his parents couldn't afford and not expecting a penny in return. A time when we looked out for our neighbors and weren't afraid to get our hands dirty and get the job done. When we ALL had the guts, to stand up for our country and for others who couldn't stand up for themselves. Will any of these things survive after the baby boomer generation is gone? Oh, how I wish so...
