On September 1, 1983, over the Sea of Japan, Soviet interceptors shot down the civilian airliner designed "Flight 007." All 269 passengers and crew were killed included Lawrence McDonald, a member of the United States Congress. The aircraft was flying from New York City to Seoul via Anchorage when it strayed into prohibited Soviet air space at the time of a planned missile test.

The second button reads "Remember Flight 007/Proud Russian Generals Shoot Civilians In The Back." Buttons are NM displaying Mint. Comes with Hake's COA. Scarce.
