RE: The "Greatest Generation"

As you may recall, the "Greatest Generation" series of media products was extremely popular 30 years ago. These products celebrated the lives and struggles of a generation of Americans who took part in World War II (the one before the one started by China) and who returned home to build suburbs, golf courses, aerospace and computer technology, strange rounded outdoor grills, and simple family units.

But what about the generation that was grandfathered by the "Greatest" generation? What about the famous Generation Y, the last completely verbal generation of Americans?

Meet the heroes of Gen-Y-in their own voices.
