Little speckled girl just learned to take cubes from my hand on Saturday. Now she walks all the way across the pasture to me to beg for cubes and eats them as fast as she can, lol.
Spoiled already 😊🐮

[Dr. Buzz Aldrin @TheRealBuzz]

July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon.
A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by.
An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and team work.
We all did our part to see President Kennedy’s words become reality: “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too.”
I couldn’t be prouder to have completed this mission with the hundreds of thousands of people that helped get us to the moon and back home. God bless the USA and all of humankind.

My Dad was with the 21st Marines, 3rd division, on Iwo Jima, purple heart. He would have been 99 this year.

Honoring USMC Cpl. John Kinsel Sr. He passed away at the age of 107. He was one of the last 3 remaining Navajo Code Talkers and served with the 9th Marine Regiment & 3rd Marine Division during the taking of Iwo Jima. Rest easy Marine 🇺🇸
