R.I.P Neil Armstrong

Journal Entry: Sat Aug 25, 2012, 1:56 PM
NEIL ARMSTRONG
R.I.P ~ August 5, 1930 - August 25, 2012

Today we mourn the loss of a true hero and icon of a generation, if not an entire century: Neil Alden Armstrong, former NASA astronaut and first person to set foot on the Moon, has passed away due to complications from cardiovascular surgery. Armstrong had recently turned 82 years old on August 5.


I was 15 when he stepped on the Moon. I watched it on TV for hours on end. He was my Hero.

I was 12 y.o. and didn't move from the TV. It was a monumental moment for the world to see someone step on the moon.
RIP Neil, you will be missed.

:sadangel:I remember that day like it was yesterday. Mom made my sister and I come inside from taking a dip in the pool to see the historic footage. I didn't want to come inside but mom made me, for which I am thankful. It was 1969, so I was 17 that summer.

I was two. I would be outside playing and hear the radio beep and run inside plop down in front of the tv. TRULY a loss for us all.
