Throwback Thursday #TBT – Apollo 11 Moon Landing – July 20, 1969

This happened a few weeks before I was born. 

When man landed on the moon it was a great moment in history. We the American people were challenged by President John F. Kennedy to soar to new heights and to do something awesome. It required the work of brilliant and talented people to make it happen. We haven’t done anything like it since. Maybe we need to dream again.

To find out more about his love life visit The Historic Royal Places website to find out more about his wives who made history of their own. Some survived and some died. I think he was a boorish and cruel man but he isn’t the only leader in world history to be like that.
