As they steadily lose their earthly binds I wanted to reflect once more on why they are rightfully referred to as that. Simply put, they rescued mankind from an unimaginable darkness. They rebuilt war torn countries of allies and foes alike and gave the baby boomers hope and confidence that we could do anything. The family unit and common values served as the foundation for a future of amazing promise.

Today there’s a stark contrast. News networks and social media feed on our worse nature, fostering divisiveness to replace unity. The darkness that has always existed is seemingly unchecked around the world, even within our own nation. Thousands of us were lost in a war that had no meaning save to learn our leaders could not be trusted. We say all lives matter while thousands of the unborn are denied everything. I have no doubt that darkness can never prevail; light will always and ultimately shine. But I do wonder that our nation will be among those that carry the torch. Farewell greatest generation, you will certainly be missed.

Jeremiah 2:5
Thus says the LORD:
“What wrong did your fathers find in me
that they went far from me,
and went after worthlessness, and became worthless?
