And where were YOU 46 years ago tonight?

Postby jacksbuddy » Mon Jul 20, 2015 7:43 am

My little brother and I were woken up by my Dad who brought us into the living room. There, my Mom (who was expecting my baby brother) held my little sister, and we all five watched the TV and heard those immortal words - "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Nobody owes you anything.

My 3 year old self was with the rest of our family in front of a little B&W tv watching this. I was too small to know what it meant but it made an impression on me just from the reactions of the older folks. Same when Hank Aaron broke the Babe's HR record.

In Tripoli Lybia as a 2yr old. My dad work for Mobil Oil Co and we spent 5 yrs there during Kadafi's take over. My older sisters would sit on the roof and watch tracers fly over the house and Dad would have kids ask him how to load there weapon.

I'm 48 and had just turned 2 when the landing happened. One of my earliest memories even though I was only 2. My folks made such a big deal out of it trying to make an impression so we would hopefully remember.
