They had the Right Stuff

They have always been my heroes.

They had names like Buzz,Hoot,Gus,Neil,John and Jim.

Astronauts.

I'm a child of the space age looking up into the night sky watching for bright fast moving silvery objects.

General Charles Chuck Yeager the first man to break the speed of sound quietly paving the way for the Friendship 7.

Blasting off from Cape Canaveral strapped to 30 story bombs these men of courage flew.

They were Americans and they made us proud.

They had the Right Stuff.
