[R-390] OT Apollo 11 Mission

[rbethman]

David,

I was 19, in South East Asia.  I went into the consolidated club for a 
couple ham and cheese sandwiches after being out on patrol.

They were showing it on AFRTS with the only TV in the entire outfit. 

I'm tickled for the hame and cheese, and astounded by what was going 
on.  I had absolutely NO idea what was happening in the rest of the world.
