RegularsByGod Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted May 22, 2015 Large patch - must have been square on the back of his jacket. Measures 11 1/2 inches by nearly 8 inches. Sailor's name was James E. Herbst. After his hitch in the Navy he served in the US Air Force, where he did a tour in Vietnam as a crewman on defoliant missions in C-123's. Left the Air Force as a Staff Sergeant. I'll dig out his Ranch Hand mementos and post at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
