    This Day In 1969

    Apollo 11 moon walk on this day back in 1969. I watched it on television. Those of you who are old enough to have been around then, did you watch it on TV?

    Watched it at home with my family. I wasn't old enough to be in the Corps yet, unlike some of these other old guys.

    Yep, I was on my 2nd tour in the Nam. I remember hearing the news on Arm Force Radio Viet Nam.
