Apollo 1 Fire
Gone-Not Forgot

by Rick Boos

In Mr. Boos' own words: 

"The black and silver plaque on Launch complex #34 that was

seen in the movie Armageddon was affixed to the pad's leg by

myself on Jan. 27,1996 with Scott Grissom present. It was placed

there in honor of the Apollo 1 crew, NOT for the movie! Last year

(2007) the plaque was stolen and I had another one made up and

is now in place where the orginal one was affixed."
