Men Walk On The Moon

For you history buffs out there, I thought I'd let you take a look at this. It is a copy (the entire newspaper; not just the front page) of the Saigon Post dated Tuesday, July 22, 1969. My brother, Steve, was serving in Vietnam at the time and bought it on the streets of Saigon because it chronicled the historical significance of the day. He sent it home and it has been in my possession ever since.

To me, it has enormous historical value because:

(1) It was printed the day the first human being in history (Neil Armstrong) ever set foot on the moon.

(2) The Saigon Post no longer exists.

(3) Saigon no longer exists.

(4) South Vietnam no longer exists.

It is very cool.
