I was a Foreign Service secretary at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo and was called in to work at the Embassy on a Japanese holiday when the Embassy was officially closed. The astronauts' advance team had changed many of the plans our staff had made and we had a flurry of work at the last minute on November 4, 1969 (I think that is the right date.) I will never forget it!! I was given several of the autographed photos, which I recently found when we were unpacking our boxes from yesteryears. Do these photos have any value? My name in 1969 was Elizabeth B.. Please let me have your thoughts. Thanks. Liz K.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/remembering_one_giant_leap/ Tue Sep 29, 2009
@ Priscilla --

I was not aware of the details of the journey the Apollo 11 astronauts made upon their return to earth. What better way to demonstrate that "we came in peace for all mankind"?! Thank you for sharing this story.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/remembering_one_giant_leap/ Tue Jul 21, 2009
