Mitch Posted November 28, 2013 Share #21 Posted November 28, 2013 Great group of patches guys. Bearmon, Good thing I didn't happen to collect these types of patches or we would have been knocking each other out on some of the auctions. Here is one contribution of mine . USS Hunterdon Cty was LST-838 in early part of Vietnam war and then re-assigned as AGP-838 to support Hal-3 and others. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
