doyler Posted January 31, 2017 Share #35 Posted January 31, 2017 I think Bob was ther 69-70 I can post a link to the original topic where two shirts are shown. The second was worn by a guy I use to see at gunshows back in the late 70s and early 80s.He was still in but not sure if SF reserves or another unit.
