July 20th marks the 40th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin's 1st walk on the moon as Michael Collins orbited overhead. You can find out all sorts of information on the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11. You can also track the journey from July 16th thru the 20th at: WeChoosetheMoon.org.
As noted on www.news.aol.com, the Mission Patch to the right is "Unlike most mission patches, Apollo 11's does not include the names of the astronauts. "We wanted the design to be representative of everyone who had worked toward a lunar landing," said Michael Collins, who designed it with help from a fellow astronaut."
