The patch held by Zielinski accompanied astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot for Apollo 11, while Collins orbited the moon in July 1969. The crew which also consisted of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made the first manned landing on the moon. Collins got the patch from his father, retired Army Maj. Gen. James L. Collins, who served in the Big Red One during World War II.
