Championhilz Posted December 6, 2007 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2007 I don't as a rule collect Vietnam era artifacts, but several years ago my cousin offered me his uniforms from the time he spent in the Army Reserves during the Vietnam War. He had no interest in the stuff, and he knew I liked military gear, so he gave me everything he had stored in his closet for close to thirty years. He never went overseas, so most of his gear is in really good shape. Here is one of the shirts he gave me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMAG Posted December 7, 2007 Share #8 Posted December 7, 2007 Tell your cousin Thanks. Just because he was a reservist or didnt "go over there" means nothing. He Stepped up to serve our country something that most of the population hasnt or will never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
