Inheritance Plan

Generation Z doesn't know or appreciate what it inherited:
Gen Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, wasn’t raised in soup lines. They didn’t crouch in the mud of Peleliu or march through the snow at Bastogne. They weren’t drafted. They weren’t rationed. Their schools had air conditioning, their meals had options, and their phones had internet access by the time they were ten. They grew up swiping screens, not dog tags. And for all that comfort, all that ease, what did we get? A generation that rolls its eyes at the flag, mumbles through the national anthem, and treats the word “freedom” as if it were just another outdated buzzword from the Reagan years. When you inherit freedom without paying the cost, you treat it like a subscription service. Cancel any time. The Tragedy of Unused Inheritance Ask a Gen Z college student to explain what happened on D-Day. Watch them blink. Ask them to name a Medal of Honor recipient. Ask them to define the Cold War. Ask them why men with nothing stormed beaches for the sake of people they’d never meet. They don’t know. And more frightening, many of them don’t care. This isn’t just a generational divide. It’s a cultural failure. We handed Gen Z the keys to a country bought with blood and sacrifice, and instead of learning how to drive it, they’re arguing over what color the steering wheel should be. It’s not that they’re stupid. It’s that they’re spoiled. And worse, they’re being taught to believe that America is something to apologize for.
Don't apologize for what others gave you...
