"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." - President Ronald Reagan
January 28, 1986. I remember that day well. I was at Naval Hospital, San Diego, as a HM3 when we received word of this disaster.
Where were you?

I remember well, GG.
Such a tragic day.
I didn't see it Goth til afte it happened. I do not remember but I do remember Regans closing sentence how they "slipped the surley bonds of earth to touch the face of God."
Boy do I miss Ronnie.
I was sitting out in the parking lot at work having lunch with my wife. It was a clear blue sky. Not a cloud to be seen.
I happened to look up and noticed a thin wisp of a "cloud" in the eastern horizon that stretched upwards. Thought it is was peculiar.
As I walked back in, I noticed everyone standing outside looking east and that's when I knew something had gone wrong.
I can close my eyes and still see that sky.
I've been to Canaveral and seen the memorial. It's amazing.
Going to UNL. I heard it from my then G/F I thought she was BSing me until I saw the TV in the dorm. Doenst seem like that long ago.....
