Greatest Generation (Wikipedia)
The term was popularized by the title of a 1998 book by American journalist Tom Brokaw, where he profiled American members of this generation who came of age during the Great Depression and went on to fight in World War II, as well as those who contributed to the war effort on the home front. Brokaw wrote that these men and women fought not for fame or recognition, but because it was the "right thing to do"
