It's wierd to think that to today's 20-somethings, Vietnam is as far in the past was WWII is to my generation (and I don't consider myself that old!)

Steve,
Yeah, my buddy and I were marveling over the fact that WWII ended not too distant before we were born and was still close in time even when we began reading about it as youngsters. Nearly every grown up I knew had some connection to the war (or were born during it) and many referred to it as an inevitable time marker. It was defintely a touchstone of history that allows events to be catagorized as "before the war" and "since the war."
I was born in 1960 & can clearly remember playing on old WWII bomb sites when I was a kid
