Signed Californian certificate of appreciation from the Bicentennial
Commemoration of the U. S. Constitution
Certificate of appreciation signed "Buzz Aldrin". 1 page, 10¾x14
overall, 7¼x8¼ certificate, one surface, printed on cardstock. Californian
Certificate of Appreciation "for outstanding service in support of the
Bicentennial Commemoration of the U.S. Constitution". Aldrin, a 1951 West
Point graduate, had flown 66 missions in Korea, winning the Distinguished Flying
Cross. He flew F-100s in Germany before persuading the Air Force to send him
to M.I.T. for a doctorate. Although he was turned down for the astronaut program
in 1962, Aldrin was later aboard one Gemini mission (Gemini 12), and
became a close friend of astronaut Ed White, one of the Apollo I
astronauts who died in a launch pad fire. Aldrin and Apollo 11 Commander
Neil Armstrong left the patch from that ill-fated mission on the surface of the
Moon. During the Apollo 11 mission, Aldrin had piloted the Lunar
Excursion Module, Eagle, and became the second man to walk on the
Moon. Lightly toned and creased, otherwise in fine
condition.
