• “Apollo 11 is on its way to the moon. It carries three brave astronauts; it also carries the hopes and prayers of hundreds of millions of people . . . That moment when man first sets foot on a body other than earth will stand through the centuries as one supreme in human experience . . . I call upon all of our people . . . to join in prayer for the successful conclusion of Apollo 11’s mission.” ~President Richard Nixon in Proclamation 3919, 1969
