I AM a patriotic soul!
Apollo 11 was launched on July 16, 1969 (today, 40 years ago). And two fellow Americans actually walked on our Moon for the first time. Commander Neil Armstrong was chosen to be the first one in history to step out and make the historic walk. 'Buzz' Aldrin followed him out the door of the module. Pilot Michael Collins stayed back on the space craft and orbited the Moon.
Many will remember, too, back on May 25, 1961, when Pres. John F. Kennedy noted to Congress that America WOULD put a man on the Moon within 10 years?
