Apollo 1 Crew Patch. A 3.5-inch cloth patch for the Apollo 1 mission given to Gordon Cooper by Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom. The emblem is mounted on a Typed Letter Signed by Gordon Cooper. NASA, 1966
- Notes: Cooper received the patch from Apollo 1 mission commander Grissom in late 1966. Cooper describes how the tragic Apollo 1 fire and the deaths of the crew came as a shock to himself, the Astronaut Office, and indeed the entire nation. The letter reads in part: "Gus was a very close friend. We were both selected as Mercury Astronauts in 1959 and later worked together on the Gemini Program."
