I was thinking about all the viral and historical events that happened around the wold and wondered: who in the Offtopic community were a part of it or witnessed big events?
So tell us your story, Offftopic, it could be past or present, ranging from marching on Washington to surviving a school shooting. Or just being in the crowd of the Baltimore riots, nothing is too small!
Edit: Would prefer it to be truthful, but I guess I could laugh at some of your fables :p

Alright, stay with me, this could be a long story now. It all started back in the late 50s. I had some issues running as a child, so I was bullied. My good friend and later wife helped me, and eventually I overcame my disabilities to become a football star. After college I enlisted and fought in Vietnam. I returned a changed man, I had won a Medal of Honor, but at the cost of my best friends life. I experienced the Civil Rights Movement, and the age of the hippies. I went into the shrimping business with my old commander from the army. We both became multimillionaires, and I never have to work again. I now have dedicated my life to raising my son. So yeah, I'm involved in a bit of history.
