In one day we went from being on the defensive in the Pacific to being able to take the offensive, or at least start thinking about it. I mean, I don't know if it was the greatest moment really, but it deservers mention. |

I introduced southern Argentina to grits as a breakfast item.
They had polenta on the shelves, ostensibly a lunch/dinner side, but they never realized how great it was for breakfast. Even declared me crazy for doing so. But, when I came out of the mountains, and back into town about a month later, a number of people in town were now eating polenta for breakfast. Oh, sure, talk up the moon landing all you want, but you aren't going to dissuade me from knowing my accomplishment ranks right up there. |

I'm gonna go with the Moon landings. A great number 1.
Second, for me, would be the bombing of Hiroshima. We were so sure of the science behind that bomb, that we didn't even bother testing it. We saved millions of lives on both sides, and ensured the unconditional surrender of our enemy. The creativity, intelligence, and determination of a free people to put paid to an insane and militaristic enemy society who we were also happy to pick up, dust off, and thrust into modernity as our eventual ally. |

There are so many great events that shaped our destiny.. The first thing that came to my mind was the Battle of Midway because we were so outnumbered and outclassed on virtually every level. Admiral Halsey would have likely taken the fight to the Japanese and possibly lost. However in spite of his aggressive demeanor he picked Admiral Spruance as his proxy. Spruance's cool and calculating demeanor allowed the depleted US fleet to hand the Imperial Navy its first defeat and change the outcome of WWIi and the remainder of the 20th century.
I get everyone's vote on the moon landing, but to me it was the culmination of a process and not necessarily a random, unexpected or unscripted event that changes everything. Though we virtually went from the launch pad to the surface of the moon in less than 10 years, the can do attitude of Americans of the time was we knew we could land on the moon and we did. Now what's next? And the Saturn V IS the most impressive machine ever created by man, even after 50 years! |

The day we nuked Japan.
It cemented us as a world power for nearly a century, and assured that there was no third world war. It gave us the cold war, the best thing that happened for America and mankind. |

Quote HistoryTechnological advances and achievements absolutely pale in comparison with the great moments and achievements that pave the way for such technology to be developed and implemented. I think it's interesting to see who believes that the utilization and development of tech is greater than achieving independence from tyrannical overlords. Actually pretty telling If you ask me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: One small step Exactly what I was thinking. Hippies may have been running amok and Vietnam was in full swing, but everyone was super-proud of the accomplishment and had high hopes for the future. One could argue that was an accomplishment of all Humanity, but those boys had US flag-patches on their spacesuits and planted Old Glory on the Lunar surface. I'd say that makes it all-American. |

Right now. This is what is called a Watershed moment Our Republic is sitting on the edge of a razor with it leaning toward totalitarianism Either way, what we’ve known as the USA will be dead soon. Now I think something else may arise, but the geographical US as we know it now will be fractured Commie west coast Elitist/commie northeast to central Atlantic coast And then the industrial and agricultural center, maybe Texas and a few other states will split off to something else. What would happen to Chicago and some of the other northern central state shitholes? Somehow they’ll want to maintain ties to the northeast. Maybe it will just wither to something like Detroit. |
