thefallenbuddha Posted August 15, 2008 Share #65 Posted August 15, 2008 Hello Andrei! I just came across this thread on the 25th, interesting topic! I thought you might be interested in seeing one of my items related to the 25th Division in Vietnam. It's not a uniform, but perhaps of interest to you. This is an ARVN Army Flag, which was presented to Major General Harris Hollis when he was commander of the 25th ID in Vietnam. He also commanded the 9th at one point as well. Below the flag are some photos of the general. The flag is one of the highlights of my ARVN collection and came out of his estate. PS: I like your Avatar! Is your family Cossack?

ItemCo16527 Posted August 18, 2008 Share #74 Posted August 18, 2008 This is my M-65 field jacket that I found in a store down in Greenwich Village a couple of months back. Named to Sergeant Morris, who was serving with the 4th Infantry Division and had a prior tour of duty in Vietnam with the 25th Infantry Division.

Andrei Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share #75 Posted August 18, 2008 I saw it two months ago and I left it because the japanese girl who run the shop was so unfriendly when I asked her for a better price in regards of the tear on one of the sleeve. This is a nice field jacket though. It is hard to find early M65 with all in-country made patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
