Apollo 11's 40th anniversary

Not Afraid · 07-16-2009, 02:25 PM

I was in a church classroom with a bunch of other people watching it. It was riveting - which says a lot since I was a 7 year old with a limited attention span.

There are certain moments where you just can feel everything that was surrounding you when they happened.

The Columbia blowing up - I was ironing my shirt for work and was home alone.

9/11 - got to work early then heard the news.

Desert Storm - at the Nissan Dealer buying Chris a car.

Election 1972 - Marching around my living room with a hand-made Nixon for President sign attached to a wooden yardstick while my parents watched the news.

Kennedy's Funeral - my very first memory. I didn't understand what was really going on but was fascinated with JohnJohn on the TV.
