Title: Help ID Military Patch and Helmet Sticker
Post by: ewarnick on December 13, 2012, 03:15:24 PM: I assume these are from the same unit since they came from the same person's collection. Just hoping someone could help with the name and what era. Thanks!

Kevin

I should have said,,the decal is the one I asked him about,, not the patch !! We get a magazine sometimes that you can order all the patches and stuff from !! I will see if I can find one !! Usually I toss them when he is through looking at it but I will check and see if I have an old one somewhere !!
