My best friends dad served in the 173rd in VN..I remember us as kids going thru his duffel bag of jungle fatigues..all with that awesome patch on it!

 

It would have been a JACKPOT for a collector now!! Like the MOTHERLOAD..

I have Kent's charts of Vietnam. He called in for fire.

Plus, many other items.

Sorry for the photo through glass.  I added the belt buckle and patch (picked up separately) for display.
