1968 the year in pictures

The last pic....

December 24: On Christmas Eve, the crew of Apollo 8 — the first humans to orbit the moon — offer a message of peace in a TV broadcast from lunar orbit. Each crewman read part of the Bible’s Book of Genesis, and astronaut Frank Borman said, “Good night, good luck, a merry Christmas and God bless all of you — all of you on the good Earth.” Many think Apollo 8’s successful mission was a bright ending to a horrible year. Astronaut Bill Anders took this photo of Earth as it appeared to rise from the moon's surface. The photo, now nicknamed "Earthrise," became one of NASA's most iconic photos.

I don't see my birth announcement there. Maybe it was overshadowed by the election of Nixon on the same day.

1968 is the year I both turned 16 and became radicalized. I'll be watching the CNN series for sure.
I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

The year I entered the army. A year of infamy.

I was a month early, so by my calculations I was conceived in mid-April 1968.

Any pictures of that?

It has been strongly hinted that Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love" was involved.
Much prefer my Nazis Nuremberged.
