Snapshots In Time
It has been said from time to time that during one’s lifetime there are usually three events in which you can recount exactly where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news of that event. Usually these are events of some dramatic proportions, so thinking back, I too can remember a few; maybe you can answer that question for yourself:Where were you when . . . . .
JFK was assassinated
Man first walked on the moon
Martin was assassinated
Bobby was assassinated
Nixon Resigned
Challenger exploded
The Berlin wall fell
Oklahoma City was bombed
The twin towers fell
The first black man was elected president
There is no political statement, just an observation that comes from growing older and remembering only a few significant events of my life. I was surprised at the number I came up with and no doubt there are more that others will remember because of their own personal interest and signifigance.
I hope I life long enough to see the first woman elected president and I would very much like to see the prestige and honor of our nation once again returned to it’s former greatness. But mostly I think I would like to see a government that was able to once again regain the trust and respect of all the citizens of this country. That would be a worthy goal for any administration to set … despite it’s loftiness.

If we give the new administration time, perhaps it will have both.
Certainly the current administration has neither and for good reasons.
The events you listed are all certainly monumental ones.
