    The Greatest Generation.

    "OK, Greatest" just does not have the same ring to it. LOL

    Unlike older baby boomers, most of Generation Jones did not grow up with World War II veterans as fathers, and for them there was no compulsory military service and no defining political cause, as opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War had been for the older boomers.

    The name "Generation Jones" has several connotations, including a large anonymous generation, a "keeping up with the Joneses" competitiveness and the slang word "jones" or "jonesing", meaning a yearning or craving.

    I've heard it called the Silent Generation, but Greatest Generation is also used.

    I have heard 70-80 called mini-boomers, when we boomers had kids.
