I just read the news on
An American hero
has passed across the
wide expanse of time
and space to his
final home.
A man who went above and beyond
what was expected of mankind..
a dream realized
of seeing man on the moon.
I remember sitting with my father
watching the landing on
an old Philco TV,
pregnant with my first son.
My father in awe having
lived from horse and buggy to
a space rocket on the moon.
I have a lump in my throat
tonight as I bid good-bye
to someone who was part
of my youth's history.
RIP
Neil Armstrong
You will not soon be forgotten.

We just read the news as well. Like you, I remember watching this piece of history unfold on the TV set. A true American hero! Thanks for the lovely tribute.
An American Hero! Yes, he will be missed! Thanks for sharing this lovely tribute!
One of those defining moments that those of us old enough to remember can recall with total clarity.
I remember watching it on tv, as well. A lovely tribute, Diana.
His name is etched in everyones minds....a real pioneer who will I know be always remembered as a true American icon.
RIP to Neil Armstrong.
We did have wonderful young men who went to the moon for our country. It's sad to lose our heroes. xo, Susie
