VN era Special Forces detachment A-502 uniform grouping

[mmerc20]

Christmas came a little early as I was not expecting the box to come until the 26th. I have been working with the granddaughter of the a Vietnam era special forces soldier. Let's just say not "any" soldier either. He was the CO of Detechment A-502 in 67/68!

 

In the package were two uniform tops with a great pocket patch on both, a field jacket and a top with all but the name removed. I will hopefully be receiving more in the future to include one of his berets. She doesn't want to part with everything and I'm truly honored to be the caretaker of these wonderful pieces.

Really? I would be very interested in seeing it. His granddaughter said she has 8 or 9 uniforms total I think.

Very nice! Love the JJs with the LLDB patches sewn on vs being a hanger style.
