I was nine years old and sitting in a 55 Chevy with my grandfather when we heard "tranquility base here, the eagle has landed.". The Chevy belonged to my uncle who had been killed in Viet Nam 9 months earlier. That night, we watched the one small step for a man. I will remember that day, and those moments, as long as I live.
