What event in U.S. history would you choose to witness?
It's the 4th of July, so everyone gets one round-trip time-trave ticket: What event in U.S. history would you have liked to have witnessed? Signing of the Declaration, Washington's crossing the Delaware, Lee and Grant meeting at Appomatox, Martin Luther King's speech on the Washington Mall....where would your time-travel ticket send you?

The first moon landing.

It would have been fun to greet Neil Armstrong.

That was the job for a pair of Moon Men dressed in the garb of past Quakers. They introduced themselves to Neil and asked if he knew the final score of the last Utah-BYU game.
Although it would have been a bit risky, I would like to have followed along behind Elder Paul H. Dunn as he raised the flag over Iwo Jima. Getting to see Babe Ruth hit some home runs would be fun too.
