The Greatest Generation, no doubt. Pre-Pussification.
And no "embedded media" and 24/7 bullshit coverage. |

Totally agree with Bob Dole about the Greatest Generation. But, to be fair, Eisenhower had hollywood film crews with many of the soldiers because he wanted things documented. |

I'm not at home to take a picture but my great uncle was the seargant that ordered the original raising of the flag on Iwo Jima. I have his missouri medal of honor certificate and write up hanging on the wall. He also played himself in the movie "sands of Iwo Jima" with John Wayne. I remember talking to him as a kid but he passed away when I was around 10.

Here is one thing I could reach (other stuff is up in my closet and I cant climb up right now).
This was earned in WWII in Okinawa. |

Awesome. It's a cool thing to hold things like this for sure. You see pictures of it all the time, but it's kind of surreal to actually hold a piece of history.
