all-bull Posted September 12, 2011 Share #4 Posted September 12, 2011 Definitely a work hard, play hard bunch of guys! For those of us who have vision problems, the recondo symbol is the top right of the picture. I tried really hard to get the glare on the appropriate parts!

Patchcollector Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted September 12, 2011 Nice patches Bull! :thumbsup: I had some spare time,so I'm posting some individual pics of my Recondo patches. As I said earlier,I don't know much about the Recondo school,and I noticed my patches have different markings on them,designating the unit from which the participants came from?Also,I'm also not sure where my patches were made, I'm guessing Japan,maybe Okinawa?If anyone can fill me in on this,please let me know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchcollector Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share #19 Posted September 13, 2011 I found a 5 part series on the Recondo Schools done by the History Channel,and posted in 5 parts on Youtube. Each segment runs for approximately 10 minutes.It's a very interesting,informative look at this little known school that was used by the Recon units in Nam. Part one: Part two Part three Part four Part five Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattS Posted September 14, 2011 Share #25 Posted September 14, 2011 Very nice!Were you able to get the original owners name with the patches? :bravo: Yes, they came from Charles Manis, Company D (Ranger), 151st Infantry "Indiana Rangers". He had a house fire some years ago and some of the patches were damaged along with a lot of his medals and certificates. Here's his original cert: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
