1969 FIRST MAN ON THE MOON SCOTT #C-76

  On July 20,1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to stand on the moon. As Armstrong stepped out of  the Apollo II lunar module, the Eagle, he spoke the famous words,"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin then stepped out of the space craft and became the second man on the moon.
  Interesting fact---the First Man on the Moon stamp was the first ever jumbo-sized American commemorative.
