Apollo 11 25th Anniversary

How many Americans around in 1969 when U.S. astronauts first landed on the moon realize that as Neil Armstrong said in his remarks at the White House, one or two of every 1,000 were involved in the effort to put men on the moon? These are excerpts from the White House ceremony observing the 25th anniversary of the first moon landing on Jan. 20, 1969. Speakers are President Clinton, Vice President Gore and Neil Armstrong, first man to step on the moon. It was the space program that took me to Washington the week President Kennedy was inaugurated, serving as press secretary for the chairman of the Senate Space Committee.
