Detroit’s Greatest Generation
The week of Memorial Day over 500 WWII veterans gathered at Willow Run Airport to participate in a photo shoot for a new documentary, “Detroit: Our Greatest Generation.”
My mother, who is 88 and served in the Pacific Theater, says it was a wonderful event. She was one of the few women WWII vets present, not surprising as female commissioned Army officers were as scarce as hen’s teeth even during the War and very few of them are still with us.
More details on the gathering, links to photos of the vets and info about the upcoming documentary on my personal blog, here.
