Captain Peter Adams brought back this Chinese Type 53 carbine after the end of his 3rd tour in Vietnam. He served in the U.S. Army from 1966-69 in the following units: Troop B 7th Squadron, 1st Air Cav Regiment; C Troop 3rd Squadron, 17th Air Cavalry Regiment; Troop D 6th Squadron 1st Armored Cav Regiment. Thanks to Matt for finding all this interesting information especially that Captain Adams was a direct descendant of Presidents John and John Quincy Adams.

SGT George Youngman of the 167th Ordnance Bomb Disposal Squadron brought home this German Flare gun. Thanks to my friend Matt for finding all this information on George. Its always nice to have a picture of the vet. I'm still trying to find out more information on the 167th. I'm happy to add this cool pistol to my bring back collection!
