Lest We Forget: Lessons Learned from the Greatest Generation follows the story of a boy born into a poor Midwestern family in 1920-a boy who, by virtue of right doctrine, grew through poverty, personal loss, and the Great Depression to become a man who made a difference in his corner of the world. But that story is viewed through the lens of a bigger picture, one that sees his growth as a microcosm of what was simultaneously taking place across the country, the result of which was victory in the largest and deadliest conflict the world has ever known. What is presented here is not a review of the heroic exploits accomplished by the 1901-1927 American cohort into which that boy was born. Much has been written about those. Rather, Lest We Forget brings to bear a case of cause and effect, one that addresses the question regarding how it was that they could rise to such greatness when generations since then evidently cannot. In the end, the book offers a path to begin turning the slide of American generational distinction back to that which was last seen in those whom we refer to as the Greatest Generation.
