A Giant Leap For Mankind

Men land on the moon,
A giant leap for mankind.

As men strived for the stars.
They forgot all their differences,
but not who they are.

On July 20, 1969,
Neil Armstrong changed everything.
He was the first man to step onto the moon.
There's no limit to what man can do.

This is not fiction,
but a historical fact.
One that would change everything,
No matter where you're at.

People put away,
their childish ways.
An pulled together,
This was a new age.
This was the time,
of the great Space Race.

A good reminder of not how far we've come, but how far we are going. Thanks, Bill.
