Today’s featured photo of the day! The feature is: NASA Retro Mission Patch Party

We are celebrating the Mars Landing! Mars!! How nice. We are blessed to be in the USA! Join every day for the next 36 days at 2:55 pm CST. . .for another photo of my NASA mission patches, and a brief description of each mission.

I am sharing a republishing of a Facebook Party from July that Facebook erroneously does not want you, my follower to see. They keep changing the format that it takes to render its photos, and keep acting like “The Invisible Man“. Originally from Facebook Party Jul 28 at 4:30 PM – Jul 30 at 8 AM: Celebrate Mars Launch – NASA Retro Mission Patch Party
