Hey guys,

Uniforms are definitely not my expertise. I picked this up this morning because I recognized a few things on it, but I just wanted some opinions on what I have exactly. It came with the cap and pants as well. The inside of the cap is named to a "Kraycar" and the service number is "52725226" it looks like. Thanks a lot in advance guys.

Very nice uniform, 41st Armored infantry during the "Fort Hood" days late 60s through the 70s. Uniform reads as a 9th infantry division combat Veteran (vietnam) assigned to the 41st. Bronze star and Arcom both with V for valor, CIB. Very nice to have a uniform that's not stripped. Good find

A real nice complete uniform. With some sleuthing, I would think you have enough to track down the Soldier. What is interresting to me is the multiple valor with no PH.

Thaere has not been a 41st Armored Infantry Battalion since 1957. That's when the battalions into which the 41st Armored Infantry Regiment was divided in 1946 were consolidated to form the 41st Infantry. The uniform was worn by a member of the 1st or 2nd Battalion of the 41st Infantry at Ft. Hood.

As I was just googling a name written inside an ERDL camo jacket I have this thread came up, as it is named to a "Kraycar" as well. I wonder if they are one and the same

And just a side note - I picked this uniform up here in CT, out of curiosity did you (NickCT) pick it up here as well?

Sorry for just noticing this now, Bella! I did pick this up in CT actually! So it's probably safe to assume it's the same person, great find!
