"When I wrote about the men and women who came out of the Depression, who won great victories and made lasting sacrifices in World War 2 and then returned home to begin building the world we have today--the people I called the Greatest Generation--it was my way of saying thank you. But I was not prepared for the avalanche of letters and responses touched off by that book--more stories and wisdom from that generation and time. I had written a book about America, and now America was writing back."
--Tom Brokaw
