I've seen it defined in different ways, but my understanding is that the kids born from 1946 to 1965, especially children of World War 2 vets, are considered to be part of the "Baby Boom."  Those born from 1946-50 are the "First Wave" boomers, from 1950-1959 the "Mainstream Boomers," and from 1960-1965 the "Shadow Boomers," the youngest children of the World War II generation.  During that roughly 15 year period, some 55 million babies were born in the USA.  It was the largest one time spike in the birth rate in American history, and boomers have played a big role in defining American culture and especially American manufacturing and advertising ever since.

Well- there ya go! From a history teacher!  :cheers:
My Dad wasn't in WWII,, but he was in Korea. He did tell me that they had German POW camps here in Michigan- Otsego to be exact. And the Germans usta give them medals for candy! So my Dad traded this guy- (they worked on farms: the German POW's) a Hershey Bar for a German medal. I don't remember quite what kind, it had a ribbon and an eagle on it. I don't know whatever happened to it. I saw it in the early 70's. He got it in like 1944? He was a kid.

I was born in '68, so that makes me almost a Boomer... but really one of the oldest members of "Generation X."

But I always thought if you couldn't be part of the "lost generation," there was no real point.

I have german roots, although my grandfather is argentinian like me. While trying to complete the papers for my citizenship I just learned that my great-great-grandfather was named Gustav. Cool name! He also had like 7 kids.

History about one's family is always fascinating.

Mugabe proves that only the good die young.

I think despite the fact he didn't eat people Mugabe was worse than idi amin. Amin was an idiot, a brutal, stupid oaf who was too dumb to run a country anywhere but into the ground. Mugabe was smarter,  he could have done better abd chose to be a selfish despot.

At least that's my middle American white bread opinion. If anyone living in Africa has a different view and wants to correct mine I'm OK with it.
