OMG! There it was… a moon-like
structure that seemed to be rising out of Interstate I-75 at Wapakoneta,
Ohio. I was about to check off another must-see on my bucket
list…Wapakoneta!

What is Wapakoneta?
What is in Wapakoneta?
Why would anyone want to travel to
Wapakoneta?
I realize many of you may be wondering
the answers to the above questions. Therefore, I will happily give you my
answer in two words…Neil Armstrong.

Since that moment on July 20, 1969, when
Apollo 11 reached the moon, and the late Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar
surface, Armstrong has been my hero. Until this very day, almost 50 years
later, every time I look up at the moon I am still in utter disbelief that a
man walked up there.
