Apollo 1 Patch
The Apollo 11 crew left an Apollo 1 mission patch, as seen here, on the surface of the moon in July 1969.
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin paid tribute to the Apollo 1 crew in a similar fashion. Rather than a plaque though, the Apollo 11 moonwalkers left an embroidered patch bearing the same design as the mission insignia Grissom, White and Chaffee would have worn to space and were wearing on their spacesuits when they died.
