1. One newsworthy event I was told about by my dad was the U.S. first landing on the moon. The landing on the moon was something that most thought could never be done, and not only was it done but there is proof of it. the famous line that go " One small step for man and one giant leap for man kind" this line was very true in the fact that many more things were to follow this great accomplishment. When Neil Armstrong stood on the moon the world changed and because the space program had done something great so had all the people.
2. "When John F. Kennedy was assassinated the world seemed to have stopped". The John F. Kennedy assassination was one of the most saddening things that have ever happened in U.S. history. A man thought to change all bad things in the world was taken away for no reason. " I remember sitting in class and over the loud speaker you heard " The president has been killed, you are dismissed for the rest of the day. Just to come home and see your mom in front of the television set crying her eyes out". " This is the story my dad told of the the day J.F.K. was assassinated and of the hurt that would never go away of a great man being taken away.
3. Having president Obama be elected was one the most memorable moments in my fathers lifetime. Never before had an African American man been elected until now. " Obama being elected was a a great thing that should lead to many more" The election changed all generation and seems to be one of the biggest events that ever happened to the United States. This single change also shows that other changes are possible and with this step forward our country has become a better place.
