Damn, am I really that old? I remember watching that on TV.
I was in middle school, 13 years old in the 7th grade (Cue 80s music). A group of kids came in and started laughing at the TV screen and was promptly suspended. I watched the screen rather indifferently until the Teacher told me what was going on. Yes, can’t believe it was that long ago either.
we both are that old. I remember watching it on tv myself...
I was in a boiler room working on the equipment, had a radio on when I heard about it.
I was in my room on Osan AFB listening to the radio as I got ready for work.
It was during that tour that the chow hall erupted in cheers when we sent planes in to spank Khadafy (was at San Vito Italy when we all groaned over Carter's failed fiasco to rescue the Hostages)...
History, like life, is what happens while preparing for the future - here's to the glimmer of hope that we have a future different from the path we seem to be walking.
