Godspeed, Neil Armstrong. You truly did go where no man had gone before.

Shortly after the 1969 moon landing, I remember hearing a song on the radio, titled "A Man Named Armstrong Walked Upon The Moon". Right now that's about all I can remember of the lyrics/refrain. The astronauts were big heroes, at a time we really needed heroes.

Found it; here's the link to the lyrics to "Armstrong":

From Buzz Aldrin's Twitter: I know I am joined by millions of others in mourning Neil's passing - a true American hero and the best pilot I ever knew.

I remember watching the live feed of when he first stepped onto the moon. It's still pretty cool looking back on it.

RIP Neil.

Sad to see this happen. :( Can't live forever I suppose.

I cannot begin to tell you how old this makes me feel. It seems like yesterday. I was just a few days short of being 22 years old. He was 38 years old. :(

He was an amazing man with forsight. After he walked on the moon he was a humble hero. As long as there is a moon, Neil Armstron will be remembered. His family stated something like; When you look up and smile at the moon, he'll be winking. Thank you Neil Armstrong for walking on the moon and into our hearts. R I P :usflag:
