I would appreciate some input on the following: I have an Apollo 11 recovery cover with a purple RSC, postmarked 18 AUG 1969 in Honolulu. Is there anything special about this date and/or location?

Can you show a scan of the cover?

I'm not aware of anything special about the date. The cover may be a return to port cover from one of the participating ships from Apollo 11. Unfortunately it has no indication of which ship, if any.

The cover could be of some small interest to a specialist in the area.

I have one of these that was given to me by a former member of the crew of the USS Hornet.
