Letter from George L. von Pragenau in Huntsville, Alabama to Senator John J. Sparkman in Washington, D.C.

Von Pragenau suggests to Sparkman that residents of Huntsville should display American flags outside their homes and businesses at the same moment that "astronaut Neil Armstrong will plant the American flag onto the lunar soil." He wrote a similar letter to Huntsville mayor Joe Davis.
