They survived the Great Depression, helped win two world wars, lived

through the birth of the space age, and witnessed the introduction of

the internet. The real- life characters eulogized in this book were special not

because they held prodigious political power or amassed large amounts of

wealth but precisely because they were ordinary. They walked among us largely

unknown but helped shaped and define the American character through the

20th Century. Most were part of what has been called "the greatest generation"

because America reached its greatest zenith during their tenure. Their eulogies,

first delivered at their funerals, offer snippets from their lives which reveal their

character, contributions, personalities, and spiritual strength. These bits and

pieces of their lives are recorded herein that these ordinary but exceptional

people will not be forgotten and that those who walk in their footprints or

stand on their shoulders will be better able to maintain communion with them.

Also contained herein are the Meditations of comfort and hope which the lives

of those profiled cause us to remember.
