An American Hero

I was working at the Maui airport on the day in 1969 when the first men to land on the moon arrived. I remember the airport pretty much stopping and being almost completely quiet as people stopped and stared at television monitors as the lunar module gingerly touched down on the moon's surface. And I remember everyone holding their breath as Neil Armstrong climbed down from the module and stepped on to the grey dust saying, "That's one small step for a man; and one giant leap for mankind." The airport then erupted with cheers, my own included. Neil Armstrong died today - a true American hero. You have my cheers as you have made an even larger step today. Well done. Houston out.
