Their numbers grow smaller each day,
But their bravery never fades.
They fought in Europe and the Pacific--landing
On beaches that had blood and bodies in the waves.
They fought to stop the evil
Coming from Germany and Japan--
They fought in jungles, mountains,
And even farmland.
The men fighting were heroes--
In a way, so were the families at home.
The women who worked in factories,
The people of the USO.
Everyone who saved or recycled,
Or kept to their ration program.
They were a unit of heroes--
All working hard for Uncle Sam.
There were two units
Of "The Greatest Generation",
They pulled together and worked hard,
And melded into one.
