On July 20, 1969, the lunar module Eagle landed on the moon. Six hours later, Commander Neil Armstrong stepped onto its surface.

Do you remember that day ... that "moment"?

I don't know if I've ever mentioned that July night to my grandkids, but I'm going to. What about you? Do you remember when a man walked on the moon?

Have a great week,
Mary
