Little did they know what was waiting in the next few months and years.

I read this with a weird sense of deja vu. Plus or minus a few minor details, this isn’t at any more out of place in 2012 than it was in 1940.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

For these high ideals, these inalienable rights, a courageous people had fought and died, and now a new generation had arisen, a generation which had forgotten the bloody footprints in the snow at Valley Forge, a generation which was wondering if, after all, another form of government might not be better.

will in our day be considered “The Greatest Generation.”
