📜 Today in History at Tripps Residential Care Home – July 20th 🇺🇸
On this day in 1969, history was made when Neil Armstrong took the first steps on the moon and said the famous words:
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." 🌕

Today, our residents at Tripps Residential Care Home in Memphis reflected on that incredible moment. Some watched it live on TV with their families, others heard it on the radio while rocking babies to sleep. It was a moment that united the world — and one our seniors remember like it was yesterday. 🕰️🌍

We love hearing their firsthand stories and honoring the legacy they carry. 💬✨
Ask your loved one where they were on July 20, 1969 — you might hear a piece of history you’ll never forget. ❤️
