Do you know what today is?

[beatlebette]

Besides my birthday, that is. It's Moon Day... the day Neil Armstrong walked on the moon in 1969. I was turning 23 on that day. My late husband and I celebrated with our best friends at their house and watched the moon walk on TV. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

Does anyone else have a special memory of that day? Probably a lot of you weren't even born yet.

I didn't even have any children yet when they walked on the moon. Didn't have my first till 1971.

1. Happy Birthday.

2. I foolishly kept my DDs up to 'watch' thinking for some unknown reason that 4 and 6 year-olds were going to remember. Silly me.

I was working as a clerk/cashier on our local drug store. We had a TV on all day.

Today is also National Ice Cream Day... heard it on TV this morning!

That, I didn't know. I'll have to be sure and eat some ice cream, too. Yum!

I would have been 13 and do remember watching with my Grandma! DD#1 went to school with Neil's granddaughter! We have a new ice cream place close by, so today would be a great day to try it

Re: Do you know what today is?

Honestly, I DO remember the video of the Moon Walk like it was yesterday.....BUT, until you mentioned it...I thought it was in January 1969....which is when my oldest child was born...I was barely 18 at the time......so I "googled" and found that January 1969 was the first Space walk...by Russians Yevgeny Khrunov,Aleksei Yeliseyev

January 16, 1969 First two-person spacewalk; Transferred from Soyuz 5 to 4

July 21, 1969 Apollo 11 - Moonwalk Neil Armstrong,Buzz Aldrin

I was in my early 20's and was sitting in a gynaecologists office while my best friend was checking out her "pregnancy status." There was a TV in the waiting room & I watched the moon landing.
