Those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it.
In 1969 I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. I was 9 years old. All of my life the greatest man in the world, the President of the United States had been telling us that we were going to do it. In 1969 we did it. I took it for granted and did not understand the emotional response from my parents whose childhoods encompassed the Great Depression and World War II and especially from my grandmother who remembered, as a child, seeing the first automobile in her small town in central New York.
We have diminished as a country. We have failed the younger generations. We have failed to educate them. We have failed to inspire them. We have failed to challenge them.
Perhaps the coming troubles will toughen them.
