Yep - was giving a noon formation chow call my plebe year at USNA and it was one of the few times I was ever shoved off and didn’t have to finish the job.

Yes. Flashbulb moment. The only 3 Iknow of (not experience) were JFK, Challenger and of course, the much more momentous 9/11.

Also for me, was the start of the Iraq War….it was weird because we were at a favorite restaurant and the waitress came and told us the strikes had begun.

Armstrong’s launch to the moon and the tv coverage of his step a few days later.
