Very appropriate.
I had the honor of meeting Ken (and Hank Hartsfield) following the STS-4 flight in 1982. A few years later I saw my first shuttle launch from the press site at KSC - STS-51C commanded by Ken Mattingly.
Rest In Peace...

RIP Rear Admiral Ken Mattingly.
Other high ranking Apollo era astronauts come to mind:
Rear Admiral Alan Shepard
Brig General James McDivitt
Lt Gen Thomas Stafford
