In you opinion, what were America's five greatest or brightest moments?
I'll have to get back to you on the other four.
The moon landing
The winning of our independence
The writing of the Constitution
Defeating the Nazis and the Japanese
Landing on the Moon
Reagan’s collapsing of the Soviet Union
July 29, 1969.
Wining WWI
Wining WWII
Signing the Declaration of Independence
Wining the Revolutionary War
Now that’s a FIRST CLASS list for someone named “Third Person”. Good answers!
2. Writing the Constitution
3. The Age of Inventions and Discovery (including the railroads, the first oil wells, Edison, The Wright Brothers, modern medicine, etc.)
4. Victory in WWII
5. Reaganomics and victory over socialists and communists (temporary but memorable).
Thanks for the memories, U.S. of A. Hello, Ameritopia.

Declaration of Indpendence
The formation of the Untied States of America governed by the Constitution
Surviving the Civil War as one country
WW2 (from D-Day, the dropping of atom bombs, VE and VJ days and all those amazing battles)
Tear Down this Wall
The 1st Constitutional Convention
Winning WW I
Winning WW II
Mercury (John Glenn)
The election of Ronald Reagan
The worst:
The abandonment of Vietnam (we would have won)
The taking of Vera Cruz (to no discernible end)
The election of FDR
The election of carter
the election of obozo (that should count twice)
January 1, 1863
December 17, 1903
September 17, 1787
Ok, whos FR's resident history major?
I would say 4 of them in no particular order are, the winning of the revolutionary war and subsequent constitution, winning WWII, the moon landing, the end of slavery.
So we can all become socialists together.
