Most of them are in their mid-80's now, and unfortunately, most of them are being ignored in our fast paced society where the music, culture, ethics, and morality has changed drastically. There are probably less the 5 visitors to this website who are members of "The Greatest Generation." The graphic above illustrates what is probably the last public recognition of their service to our country.
I have been bringing them their music and reviving their memories for the past 28 years, and will continue to do so in future programs at Kuser Farm mansion, Kuser Gazebo, and my Trenton Times "Sentimental Journey" column. Two of my brothers are members of that generation, and many of my friends. They are all role models and heroes, and I, and many others will not forget your service to our country during the "war to end all wars."
