18. Am I Missing a Generation?
Your dad is in his 80s and your kids are their 20s? If he was old enough to serve in WWII, he would have had to have been born in the mid '20s (and still probably have to have one of his parents sign for him to enlist before he was 18, as my uncle did) and to have been active in the 60s, one would have had to been born in the late 40s - early 50s (assuming one was a 18-25ish hippy).

Many people confuse Baby Boomers with "Greatest Generation"ers. Boomers are the children of the WWII-era generation.
