July 20, 1969 is a date that represents a pinnacle of human achievement - the #Apollo11 Moon landing. And while it was certainly special, it was only part of a long and challenging effort that involved thousands of people working hard and doing their part, resulting in the subsequent Apollo missions taking Americans to the Moon and returning them safely to Earth. It truly was America at its best.
