Twenty years ago today America lost a group of brave astronauts and heros when the shuttle Challenger was lost upon lift-off. I was thinking of the crew of the Challenger this morning when I sat down at the vise and decided to tie a fly in honor of those brave souls. May God bless them and their loved ones. America and indeed the world is better because of them and their sacrifice.
