An American hero, Astronaut Neil Armstrong died today  at age 82. As Neil stepped onto the moons surface from the Apollo lunar lander, he spoke the words "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil Armstrong's family has made a statement with a simple request: "Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."
