Happy Moon Day! July 20, 1969

42 years ago today, Neil Armstrong became the 1st man to walk on the moon! It's hard to believe we've reached the final flight for the space program already! What were you doing on Moon Day back in 1969?

I was (according to my diary)..."I'm now listening to the broadcast of the Apollo.  They landed on the moon just perfect.  They are going to step out on the surface of the moon soon.  Well, they just did it!  At 10:56 est Armstrong septted out on the surface.  I was downstairs in the living room with Nancy, Susan and Mom."
