On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first two people to walk on the face of the moon. I was twelve and living in Ohio at the time. I remember watching it on TV with my parents and grandparents. My dad, a sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, would leave for Viet-Nam for his second tour of duty about a month later. He could recall when they had installed electricity on his parent\u2019s farm while he was growing up. What amazed him most of all about the successful trip to the moon was the fact that it was being televised. He\u2019d always figured we\u2019d get there, he just hadn\u2019t expected we\u2019d get to watch it happen on live TV.<\/p>\n
