97. Correct. After we stormed the beaches at Normandy...
... Americans were world saviors, the good guys. It's hard for me to swallow this bitter pill, but I'm old enough for the events to have impacted me and my family personally. I was in my two-year-old crib when my father was fighting in the Ardennes, but when he and his comrades came home, they brought the war with them, and it colored our personal and national histories for decades.

Now WWII and its tyranny is just a video game or a trip to the Holodeck for a lot of younger people.
