Statues: The People They Salute
President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, establishing NASA, on July 29, 1958. Three years later, President John F. Kennedy set a goal of landing a man on the moon, and returning him safely to earth.
On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon with three men aboard: Commander Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. President Kennedy’s goal was met when the three returned safely to earth, a few days later, on July 24.
Pictured is a statue of the Apollo 11 astronauts designed by sculptors Mark and George Lundeen and commissioned by Rocket Mortgage. It was donated to Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Complex for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
The Apollo 11 astronaut statue is surrounded by a tribute to all of the crewed Apollo missions. The Moon Tree Garden features 12 trees, one for each of the manned Apollo trips to space.

After watching the rise in foreign born politicians, who bash our country, our founding and our way of life, something occurred to me. It almost seems like they didn't just IMMIGRATE here, but they were actually SENT here. Same goes for many of the other illegals who've invaded our country. The were sent here to steal our money, hijack our politics, and generally destroy our society. They are way too organized, way too well funded, and way too consistent in their message for this to just be a bunch of random miscreants.
It reminds me of medieval times when a siege army would catapult diseased bodies over an impenetrable wall to sicken those inside.
On the last day of our weekend getaway, we visited the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora. Phenomenal is hardly a strong enough adjective for how incredible this library is.
They give you a wristband that allows you to interact with exhibits in each room. If you take your photo upon entering (it's optional), your photo will be used to produce items you create and add to your digital journal during your visit.
Every room has a different feel and theme. For example, there is the campfire story room where the ceiling looks like a starry night, and seats of logs and tree stumps allow you to sit around a faux campfire and listen to the stories come to life on a video screen. There is a room decorated like a turn-of-the-century train car with videos playing in the windows, the sound of the steam engine in the background, and a vibrating floor that feels like you're riding on an actual train.
And the architecture of the building itself is beautiful with intricate wood ...
