Commander Neil Armstrong, at age 82, passed away today from complications he had due to heart bypass surgery.
On 7.20.1969, Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. The Apollo 11 space mission took three Americans to the moon for the first time. Neil was famous for the words he transponded back to earth : "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,"
I can remember sitting & watching history in the making with my younger sister & my parents. I was so excited when he first stepped on the moon, I gave my sister a big hug, which I don't think she really wanted.
I would have to say next to the birth of my daughter and births of my two granddaughters, that first lunar landing is one of those moments you will never forget.
Godspeed Neil Armstrong. The next time I look up at a full moon, I'll wave to you.
YOURS IN LIBERTY ! ! !
