chils123 Posted May 19, 2018 Share #3 Posted May 19, 2018 Nice. Thanks for sharing. I've always found these flags with US unit information written on them to be really interesting. Hopefully I'll pick one up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtdorango Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted May 20, 2018 Thanks guys, flag is aproximately 33X24....the 112th saw alot of action...the film footage shows them wearing very cool painted helmets ive never seen one before, looks like theyre unit crest on front of helmet...will try to put up a link soon....love this flag but will most likely be moving it along soon to fund my 11AB helmet addiction...mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
