With apologies to the Beatles and the Sargent Pepper tune, 40 years ago was the last time someone from the US walked on the moon. It was the year my dad died, I married my first wife, my 2 best friends got married and Americans walked on the moon. It was the end of several eras.
When I heard this reported this week, I thought when was the last time we did something great as a nation. I'm sure I am wrong but was it 40 years ago? I hope not!
As we sit on the cliff, mourn how could anyone kill innocent children in a school, honor teachers for helping kids live, by getting themselves killed, and watch the world suffer through several wars that we win because we say WE WON, Mission accomplished, I wonder where the 40 years has gone and if we will ever be great again.
I hope that as we end this year our newly elected President will muster the strength to be BOLD. But then again what have I done to make a difference.
