Baby Boomers is what we were called. I don't like the term boomers because it is sort of like old people farting or something. I liked Baby Boomers much better.
Baby boomers were born between 1945 to 1965. This is how we are normally classified. However, some people include anyone born after Pearl HARBOR or December 7th 1941. We are the war babies which is how why we were called Baby Boomers. Another reason we were called this is we were at the time the largest generation of kids ever born in the U.S. and Europe. People terrified by World War II got busy and had a whole lot of kids and we are it even though many of us already have died in the Viet NAM WAR, THE DESERT STORM, THE IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WARS ETC.
Many of us have just died, period from anything imaginable. For example, my two earliest best friends died in 2006 and 2011 I believe. My last best friend from those times and I didn't really become good friends until 1969 until I was 21 and he was going to UCLA and eventually got his bachelor's and his Master's degree there. And many people I knew died in my 20s, 30s and 40s from anything you can imagine and more.
So, there are a whole lot less baby boomers alive now than when I was growing up and maturing. That's for sure!
