America's Greatest Generation grew up during the worst economic depression in the history of the United States. What's not generally known is that the economic depression of the 1930s was not just an American depression but a worldwide depression. It was devastating, and most countries turned to governmental forms such as Nazism, Fascism, Communism, dictatorships, imperialism, and various forms of socialism-but not America's Greatest Generation; they stuck by their Constitution and the elected form of government given to them by their forefathers.
Then came World War II and they were called on to beat back the horrors of Nazism, Fascism, and other forms of evil that strived to rule and subjugate the world. The war called for a great sacrifice in human life and in human emotion, but the Greatest Generation stepped forward and did it.
After a great depression and a world war, this generation went on to help build a great nation by living successful lives and helping restore the foundation of the United States of America.
This story is about a family, the Collies, from the small East Texas town of Coalville during those hard times in America. It tells how they persevered against hatred, racism, murder, personal tragedy, and sacrifice to rise up and become part of America's Greatest Generation.
