40th anniversary of the First Moon Landing

Hi ! This year marks the 40th anniversary of the historic July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 moon landing. Here is the detail about  nice cancellations  being given to commemorate this event. Cayman Islands also issued a  Souvenir Sheet and five stamps in sheets of 6. I wrote about theses stamps in my  post of 24 July  but all the images could not be given in that Post. I am highly thankful to Mrs. Gene Webb, Philatelic Bureau Assistant of Cayman Islands who sent to me these images by post which I am giving here. I highly appreciate prompt  service by  Staff of Cayman Islands Philatelic Bureau and nice to write that they care for stamp lovers !! This is all for Today ……  Till Next Post……..  Have a Nice Time !

First Moon Landing Anniversary Postmark

This postmark was used July 20 in Kennedy Space Center, Fla., to honor the 40th anniversary of the day man landed on the moon. Kennedy Space Center, Fla., recently offered postmarks to celebrate the first men who walked on the moon. Two postmarks are being offered: one for the blast off date of July 16 and the other for the July 20 landing date. Both postmarks received 30-day extensions, so collectors have until Sept. 14 and Sept. 18 (60 days after the postmark date) to request the two postmarks.To request these postmarks, you may send your covers or Postcards of your choice with correct postage and  address to self or else in a separate envelope indicating the cancellation you want to: First Man on the Moon Station, Postmaster, Box 9998, Merritt Island, FL 32953-9998
