“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy stood before congress and delivered a speech that would change the world. It would open our eyes to a new frontier. President Kenney boldly stated that he believed the United States should, “Commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man safely on the Moon and returning him safely to the earth.” It was an ambitious dream, and many brave Americans would respond to successfully respond to this challenge.  In July of 1969, only 65 years after the first flight of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk, the crew of Apollo 11 successfully landed on the moon and safely returned to Earth. Mission accomplished!
