I disagree with this article. I’ve done google searches on his death and followed twitter. I was amazed at even the young celebrities who chimed in on his death.
Even the BBC had shows talking about him and all over the world. Armstrong wouldn’t want any fanfare at all.He would not want a state funeral. He truly felt he was doing his job, doing what he loved and was just fortunate to be at the right place at the right time.
Just because CBS NBC or ABC doesn’t do a big story doesn’t mean anything. They are irrelevant.
He was a humble man.
He did not crave the limelights or the fortune and fame.
He is remembered by those he inspired and will always do so...........
I don't...
FTA..."He will inspire future generations, but mostly he is shaming ours.
"By reminding us of who we used to be.
Many in this generation don't want to be reminded of American exceptionalism. It's not so much about those who know of and admire Armstrong, it's what he and his generation REPRESENT. American ingenuity, individuality, exceptionalism, accomplishment, drive, desire, motivation, etc.
Armstrong represents many of the same characteristics that made America great. The same characteristics that many in today's society want swept under the rug as they destroy America.
Spot on Bob Lonsberry!
