Viet Nam Vets 3 Years, 6 Months ago  
Any VN vets that need a leather jacket, check out the classifieds. I can't get my pictures small enough to post, so I will just tell you that the jacket has a Vietnam Veteran patch on the back. An American Flag patch on the left sleeve. If you are interested pm me and I will send you some pictures via email.

Re:Viet Nam Vets 3 Years, 6 Months ago  
Thanx for your service, fellas! I salute each and every one of you. I was never in country, but proudly volunteered to serve during that time (although it was the tail end: 1973-1977). Got the Gedonk medal to prove it.

As a former Squid, there were only a few ways to get there via the Navy: Pilots, Sea Bees, Corpsman, River/Swift Boats, UDT/SEALs et al. And I screwed the pooch on a couple of those options as a boot camper.

I ended up on a Tin Can on the other side of the world doing the Cold War thing chasing Russian Subs and Destroyers in the Arctic Ocean/North Atlantic, Mediterranean and Caribbean oceans.

Re:Viet Nam Vets 3 Years, 6 Months ago  
6hrtbt3, Why would you want to part with your leather jacket? I have mine from the Navy with patches on it from all of my commands and ships, even thou it no longer fits, I would never part with it. Means way too much, they can put it on my casket when I go, heck maybe then it will fit?

Thanks for your service during the worst of times. I was lucky 77-98 and never saw battle. Our AirCraft kicked some Butt, but I never had to pull a trigger. I wanted to after 9-11, but I was already retired. Again, Thanks to ALL the VETS!!!

Re:Viet Nam Vets 3 Years, 6 Months ago  
This is just a jacket I bought last year when I got back on a bike. I had the VN patch put on the back. No special place in my heart. BTW I noticed that I made a mistake when I put the year I was in VN, it should be 67-68.
