And How We Changed The World . There are over 80 million Boomers in
the U.S. If you look through the data it is obvious how the
citizens of the United States of America (YOU) fought for honor,
decency, high moral values and against all of the warnings we
started to slide ever so slowly down that path to where we are
today. What so many of us do not remember is how long and hard we
fought. This book will mean something different to every person who
reads it because we are all different with a common ground. Our
intention is to take you back in time and allow you to feel exactly
what it was like. This book is a powerful academic resource that
can be used on many different levels. Above all it is down-to-earth
and extremely interesting to just sit and read.
