Portrait of The Greatest Generation - The Arthur and Loretta Murphy Story
In this superb TV documentary, the Insider Exclusive’s Steve Murphy goes returns to Foxboro, Massachusetts, to tell through the stories of his parents, Arthur and Loretta Murphy, America's hero and heroine who came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America. As symbols of their generation, Arthur and Loretta defined the virtues of their era: duty, honor, hard work, bravery, service, and love of family and country. Throughout this story, Steve shows how his father – and an entire generation – came of age during the Second World War and other great social, political and economic events. Arthur and Loretta were shaped by these changes – and they shaped these changes, too.
When innocence and youth were their birthright, Steve takes us back to he harrowing days of the Great Depression and the Second World War, a conflict where Arthur fought selflessly and suffered tremendously. Arthur answered America’s call to defend freedom, and was wounded and underwent multiple surgeries to restore his arm to use.
With Loretta at his side, Arthur overcame great odds and started a beautiful family of three sons and a daughter. They succeeded on every front and then began a new journey: creating roots for themselves and their young family in Southern California.
A grateful nation gave Arthur and Loretta a second chapter – like millions of other Americans – to give the next generation, the Baby Boomers, an opportunity to succeed in peacetime. And Arthur and Loretta contributed to this national renaissance, supporting America’s quests in science, literature, art, industry, and finance.
Leading productive and enriching lives, Arthur and Loretta raised their children to better themselves, watching as their sons and daughter became parents themselves and decorated leaders in education, construction, athletics and law.
And the second half of the twentieth century is also the Murphy family’s story, as Steve takes us through the tumult of Vietnam, the struggle for civil rights, the Cold War, the attacks against America and the renewed purpose of this greatest of all nations.
Arthur and Loretta have so many stories to tell, stories that in many cases they have never told before. And through this emotionally moving TV documentary, Steve brings their stories back to life so their memory can live forever.
