I served in Gators on both coasts, Remember most of these ships. Good ships, Good days. I served in a Carrier and two Tin Cans. But, the Gators were my favorite. Loved them

Great group of patches guys.

Bearmon,

Good thing I didn't happen to collect these types of patches or we would have been knocking each other out on some of the auctions.

Here is one contribution of mine . USS Hunterdon Cty was LST-838 in early part of Vietnam war and then re-assigned as AGP-838 to support Hal-3 and others.
