On their return, this Apollo 12 patch was given to me by my good friend, Alan Bean. It is a prized artifact of the 'golden age of manned spaceflight,' when man first left our home planet to land on another body in the universe, the most memorable accomplishment of the twentieth century. The patch has been continuously in my possession since that time. <I>Walt Cunningham</B></I>, Apollo VII."
