Remembering the Challenger

It is hard to believe that 25 years ago today, the Shuttle Challenger left for a routine mission, only to break apart 73 seconds later, killing all aboard.

I will never forget where I was at the time.

I was in high school, and I remember watching the footage on a small TV in a room adjoining the library in my school.

The entire nation was shell-shocked, and we mourned for our fellow Americans.

Though this event happened a quarter of a century ago, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Let us never forget the sacrifices that others have made to improve our quality of life and our curiosity for the unknown.
