Now entering the T-20:00 built-in hold. Hold will take place for 10 minutes.
As the Closeout Crew was about to leave, they all came in and held up signs, one at a time, thanking all who have serviced, fueled, repaired, and flown the Shuttles. The last two message cards said “Godspeed Atlantis” (held by the youngest crew member) and “God Bless America” (held by the oldest crew member).
Touching and appropriate!
