We all probably know that today is the 25th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
We were discussing the event with our boys, and showed them the video of what happened. We also impressed upon them the importance of the mission with Christa McAuliffe being the first civilian on a Shuttle Mission. We also watched President Reagan's adress to the nation that night. I had almost forgot how great of a speaker Reagan was. I was a senior in high school when this happened and I remember crying when the explosion happened, and again later that night with his speech. I know there are some on this list who do not like his politics, but, he was a great speaker. Here is a link to his address that night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JKIZ7j20EA There are two lines from Reagan speeches I will never forget: '...as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God. ' And 'Mr.Gorbachev, tear down this wall' -- Scott Stroz --------------- You can make things happen, you can watch things happen or you can wonder what the f*&k happened. - Cpt.
