Baby Boomers represent the 76 million people born between 1946 and 1964. The United States began to draft Baby Boomers into the Vietnam War in the late ’60s. The New York Times reports that 40% of males in the Baby Boomer generation served in the war. It’s estimated that 47,434 American fighters were killed during Vietnam.
Approximately twenty-one percent of male Baby Boomers alive today are veterans.
We remember those today who made the ultimate sacrifice and thank the many Baby Boomer veterans for their service and sacrifice.
