August 13, 1969 –
The Apollo 11 astronauts, Neil A. Armstrong, Lt. Col. Michael Collins, and Col. Buzz Aldrin, were released from their three-week quarantine and were given a ticker-tape parade in New York, on this date.
It would be a hectic day for the astronauts. After the three and a half hour ticker-tape parade in NYC, the trio went on to Chicago for another parade. Their day ended with a state dinner hosted by President Richard Nixon in Los Angeles, where they were awarded them the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
