Moon Landing
I can't let this day pass without sharing my thoughts about the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
I remember the day vividly--family and friends gathered in the kitchen, watching a tiny, black and white television perched atop the refrigerator so everyone could see.
I was too young to really appreciate the significance of this event as much as I could have.
But today, I am reminded that this was one of those rare times in history when the world came together, if only for a day, to marvel at the tremendous accomplishments the human race is capable of.
The photo is of a patch I saved from that era and the symbolism seemed appropriate for today.
