They fought the last "good war," but the stories and heroics of the GIs didn’t end when they hung up their uniforms. What they accomplished at home and how it affects us today makes for a rich sequel to Tom Brokaw’s acclaimed original presentation, The Greatest Generation. World War II vets, eager to pass the torch and leave a meaningful legacy, have faced many challenges as their ethos of duty, honor and sacrifice often clash with those of their children. Insights from historians and experts, as well as reflections from the GIs themselves, shed light on how the war generation struggles with preserving honor and tradition in a fast and uncivilized world. And candid conversations with baby boomers, stereotypically driven by immediate gratification and individualism, reveal a strong desire to understand and appreciate the lessons of their parents in THE GREATEST GENERATION SPEAKS.
