"You can't help but note how much red, white, and blue there was on our mission, the reason being we wanted there to be no doubt about what country was doing the project"
Typed letter signed “John Young”, one page, 8 x 10.5, NASA letterhead, August 14, 1972, to Frank M. 'Brandy' Brandstetter, founder of the Las Brisas Resort in Acapulco, Mexico, in full:
Susy and I really enjoyed your kind hospitality. Susy will never be the same nor will I.
I am sorry this flag is so long in getting to you, but we never will forget how great Las Brisas is and how wonderful you and your folks were to us.
You can't help but note how much red, white, and blue there was on our mission, the reason being we wanted there to be no doubt about what country was doing the project.
I wish we could have seen you at the launch. Charlie and I are backing up Apollo 17 and you are naturally invited. It should be very spectacular at night. It will probably light up Florida.
Annotated in pencil in the lower right, indicating that the enclosure had been received.
In fine condition, with small binder dings to the left edge.
Just a few months earlier, Young successfully commanded Apollo 16 and became the 9th man to walk on the moon.
