Actually, the boomers were *very* service-minded.  Ever
hear of the Peace Corps?  Ever hear of the civil rights
movement?  There was all kinds of grassroots volunteer
activity as well, running soup kitchens, caring for the
homeless, advocating for the poor, and so on.

Plus which, there's a trend today for boomer retirees to
take on second "careers" in various areas of volunteer
service, since they're more financially secure and 
generally in better health than previous generations were
at their age.
