The Lost Generation Finds It's Place

All my life, I've wondered what MY generation would accomplish. I'm one of those tweeners, born after the korean war, and before vietnam. We aren't baby boomers, we aren't generation X'er's, we we're the lost generation. Until now. Finally, I see what my generation has accomplished. As Obama spoke tonight, all of us in the Lost Generation will have finally heard our own voices in one of our own. We were the kids that watched the vietnam war on TV right after Batman. We were the generation that saw Nixon fall as we waited in line during the first oil embargo. We were smart, disillusioned, and frustrated at the unjustices we saw going on around us, but felt helpless to do anything about it. We weren't eliglible for the Vietnam draft, but we saw our brothers just miss being called, and our parents threaten to send them to Canada. We were witness to the struggles and success of our grandparents, and the heartbreaks of our parents as they watched JFK being buried, barely one or two years old ourselves. Tonight, i was proud to say that Barack Obama is my peer. finally, the lost generation,and all generations have thier voice back.
