Along the same lines I had the great pleasure of being at my grandparents house on July 21, 1969 when Neil Armstrong step onto the moon.
My grandfather, born in 1901, remarked that as a kid seeing a car was a big deal. And now we have men walking on the moon.

My Great Grand Father, Martin Abel McDuffie fought in the War Between the States. He and three Brothers all were in the 18th Alabama. I checked their history and they were one of those outfits who were in all kinds of famous battles.
