Man on the Moon

Fifty years ago America achieved greatness. One of the many times in our history. As they say, we decided to go and we did. It's amazing what those men and women back in the 60's were able to accomplish. The intelligence and vision that set a goal and figured out a way to make it happen. I don't remember it ( I was 3 months shy of being born) but I was alive when it happened. I can only imagine the awe and wonder of those who gazed at their little black and white TV screens watching this history making moment take place. Many risked their lives and some gave them in pursuit of this achievement. We landed a man on the moon. There were so many details and precision needed to make it work. Things that now seem common place and even old fashioned were cutting edge technology then. It was a great example of American ingenuity. So as we celebrate and remember this great achievement may we also remember who we are as Americans, were anyone has the chance to dream and seek greatness.
