Smilies Legend
[i]..."The name we selected for the vehicle was American Eagle. Unfortunately, we were unable to use this, and we were known as Gemini IV. Ed and I used the American flag on our shoulders as our patch. This was the first time the American flag had been worn on a pressure suit and it has continued to be used there ever since. The original flags we had sewn on we purchased ourselves. Later on of course, NASA made this an integral part of the pressure suit."[/i]
