In the 21st century, few, if any, WW2 veterans will be able to share their WW2 knowlege about GI's of WW2. Nearly all of the senior US Officers were born in the 1880's and 1890's; while the standard US Fighting Man were born between 1900 and the 1920's. Just about all that remains are history books.
The homecoming of millions of GIs after World War II led to significant social and economic changes in the United States. The influx of veterans contributed to a booming post-war economy, driven by increased consumer demand and the expansion of the middle class. Additionally, the GI Bill facilitated access to education and homeownership, helping to integrate veterans into civilian life. This period also saw shifts in demographics, as many GIs settled in suburbs, reshaping American society and culture.
