"First Man on the Moon" First Day of Issue (July 20, 1969). 10 Cents U.S. Air Mail Postage

At the bottom of the ladder, Neil Armstrong said "I'm going to step off the LEM now" (referring to the Apollo Lunar Module). He then turned and set his left boot on the surface and spoke the words "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." The stamp captures that moment.
