"BELIEVE IT OR NOT" joey scarsburg

Yes  we lost an American Hero today. Neil Armstrong first man to step foot on the moon. It was the summer of 69' and many thing were happening at that time that made you wonder if we would see a summer of 70'. I believe someday that day will receive its honored place in history.

If you my age your a child of the space race. The United States against the Soviet Union. President Kennedy announced soon after being elected that we would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. We did. No if ands or buts about it, it was an amazing time when this country could  just about do anything it set its mind to. The computer I am using now is presently more powerful than the ones used on Apollo 11.
 Today in the time of instant celebrity, a man like Neil Armstrong was not of that persuasion even then.. Never a chain of Neil out of this world franchised food stands, or Mattel Neil action toys. Seems he never viewed himself that way.

Today I feel no sadness in his passing. Only a wish to celebrate his and this country's accomplishment and remember that summer evening again..
As his family mention next time you look up and see the moon,give a wink for Neil.
