17. Gen Jones here, born in late 1960

However, I’m married to a true baby boomer, born in 1946, who served in Vietnam. We experienced a lot of the same things, but in different ways. I remember a guy who lived a couple houses down the street being killed there, and all of us kids were told not to play near there out of respect for the family. I guess you could say I was a “Wonder Years” kid.

I can’t believe you didn’t remember Vietnam….what about the assassinations of RFK and MLK?
