For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what me may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

1969

A few weeks ago when I was in Tennessee, I picked up a bunch of old photos and slides that my mom and dad took when I was really young. Earlier this week, I posted a few family photos that my Grandmother had. Tonight, I'm posting one or two from the slides that I took home to have transferred to digital format.

In 1969, men traveled to the moon and walked there. Parts of the mission were broadcast on television. For some reason, my dad decided to snap a few shots of the television screen. Here are two of them.

At first it seemed a bit odd to me that there would be slides with pictures of television programming on them until I looked at these. We didn't have a VCR in 1969.

I remember watching this stuff "live" on television. These photos bring back some of those memories.

Once upon a time America was blessed with greatness. To this day, we are still the only nation that has landed men on the moon. We did it in less than ten years from the time President Kennedy set us the challenge. That was an amazing time to be growing up.

Who needs Luke Skywalker when you've got men like Neal Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins?
