rke1958 Posted July 23, 2010 Share #86 Posted July 23, 2010 You'll have to pardon the glarethis is a pretty hard one to find either as a hanger or as a sewn on Hey, where did you get the 2/34th armor pocket hanger? Do you know where I may be able to obtain one? I am working on a display to honor SSgt. Minoru Tanaka who was KIA in Nov. of 1967. I have been told by his fellow soldeirs that he would have worn the 25th ID patch on his left sleeve and a 2/34th hanger on his pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itshistory Posted July 28, 2010 Share #89 Posted July 28, 2010 Here are the remainder of the flight platoons and the main company insignia. Intruders was the company name, Rat Pack was the 1st Flight Platoon and Wolf Pack was the gun platoon. There are others from this company but these are the ones I have in my collection that are still in the plastic of the pocket hanger. The tabs have broken off of two of them but that's not unusual given their age. IH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itshistory Posted July 28, 2010 Share #91 Posted July 28, 2010 Here's a really nicely done one for the 11th Aviation Battalion. Not much glamor with the unit but a very necessary echelon of command. IH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrapneldude Posted July 29, 2010 Share #94 Posted July 29, 2010 I think the "34" on there is a specific callsign for a member of A co, 3rd Platoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 29, 2010 Share #95 Posted July 29, 2010 Great hangers so far . I see a few I sold. I thought I would mix it up a little and post some Navy related pocket hangers which for the most part are beercan DI's on white leather. Sorry for the bad picture ,my scanner is down. Thanks, Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itshistory Posted July 29, 2010 Share #97 Posted July 29, 2010 As noted above on the Pelicans patch, it was not unusual for a pilot to have his personal "callsign" embroidered into a patch. The enlisted crew members such as the crew chief or gunners also would personalize their patches by denoting a CE or GUNNER and the last three digits of the aircraft they were assigned to. Pictured here is the patch of a crew chief (CE) from the 174th AHC "Dolphins) who worked on #403. The full serial was for a UH-1H, 68-15403 which was shot down and lost with only 57 hours on the airframe. The pilots were KIA but the gunner and crew chief survived. It is not know if this patch belonged to the surviving crew chief or a crew chief from an earlier period. IH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itshistory Posted July 29, 2010 Share #98 Posted July 29, 2010 Here are some nice Engineer related pocket hangers. The 15th Engineer Battalion was part of the 9th Infantry and the 34th Engineer Battalion was a construction battalion assigned variously to the 159th Engineer Group, the 79th Engineer Group and the 34th Engineer Group.

itshistory Posted July 29, 2010 Share #99 Posted July 29, 2010 Two more out of ordinary pocket hangers. One is a printed on fabric Kit Carson Scout from the 4th Infantry Division and the other is for the Signal Security Force Vietnam. There was an organization known as the Signal Support Agency located at three stations through out Vietnam but as yet, I can't link this patch/organization to a parent organization. Kit Carson Scouts were VC or NVA soldiers who were captured but agreed to "turn" on the communist forces and they acted as spies turning intel back to the Allied forces of the US, ARVN and Australia.
