1 flashback Why a flashback? Better yet, why are we here? We are here because we first stood on the shoulders of someone who came before us. We stand on their achievements and contributions. Where we stand today is a tribute to their efforts. In tribute to those on whose shoulders we first stood , the 1976 X-Ray is dedicated to our Nation ' s 200th Anniversary.
