Arguably, the three most important values to pass on to our children are love of God, country and family.

But as this survey data from 2024 and compiled by Bruce Mehlman show us, Boomers have failed miserably in this task. The Gen Z youngsters may be the least patriotic and God-fearing generation in American history.

Maybe instead of pouting and complaining, these youngsters should also think about learning another virtue: GRATITUDE.
