Screw the Gosling guy and Hollywood in general for slanting all of their projects to the Left and thinking that's normal. If you think fake news is bad in the news media, Hollywood movies are 100% fake and make-believe and the players twist their scripts to reveal their liberal bias. I expect that from this crowd.

But what is special for me about this story is the date Neil Armstrong stepped down on to the moon's surface and Nixon declared it a national holiday, July 20, 1969. I remember the date very well.

I was scheduled for my Army draft physical the next morning and it was postponed because of the moon landing and the holiday. It gave me a reprieve from being drafted and I had time to go join the Air Force instead of the Army. I met my wife of 43 years in the Air Force and we both retired after serving 20 years. We are now retired after our second careers and run beef cattle on a farm in rural Florida for fun.

But I tell my wife, that if Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin hadn't landed on the moon on that day, July 20, 1969, and if Nixon hadn't declared it a national holiday, I would have been drafted into the Army and I would never have met her and married.

The turns of fate in our lives.
