    American Discovery

    By Hamlet45  |  Posted April 18, 2012  |  South Riding, Virginia
     
    Capturing the beauty, the history and the meaning of the moment and an era of unsurpassed, proud American technology.
    I got to share this event and childhood memories, with my kids and good friends! Appreciating the luxury I had to grow up on The Space Coast with the ability to watch launches and see the shuttle piggy-backed home (just like today) all from my front lawn! Fortunate to be there at the very first launch and now the final landing.
    God Bless America

    As for the flag pole . . .
    Yes, it is real. I just got lucky!
