DIRECTLY FROM THE PERSONAL COLLECTION OF APOLLO 11 LUNAR MODULE PILOT BUZZ ALDRIN
FLOWN TO THE MOON ON APOLLO 11
BUZZ ALDRIN'S UNITED STATES FLAG CARRIED ON APOLLO 11
FLOWN silk stars and stripes United States flag. 4 by 6 inches. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY BUZZ ALDRIN directly on flag on two white bars: "FLOWN TO THE MOON ON APOLLO XI. BUZZ ALDRIN." With a Typed Letter Signed from BUZZ ALDRIN.
Buzz Aldrin's letter reads: "This certificate of authenticity certifies that the accompanying Apollo 11 United States Flag was flown to the Moon aboard the command module “Columbia."
In July of 1969, I landed on the Moon as part of the Apollo 11 crew. To help commemorate this historic milestone, I chose to personally carry the accompanying 4x6 inch American Flag with me in my Personal Preference Kit (PPK). This flag symbolizes our great nation and, as such, I proudly carried it with me to the Moon."
