Also got some Soviet(?) Shoulder boards that I'll have to properly identify. 

VMF-451 redesignated VMF(AW)-451 on July 1, 1961 VMF(AW)-451 redesignated VMFA-451 on February 1, 1968   So this is between 1961 to 1968. I find it odd that it has "The Hackers" on it. Someone's call sign? Patch is 8.5" in height. Definately some sort of a gag patch?    Anyone have thoughts?

I have another old Bible from 1940s to probably 70s though it's not military. Most of the trift stores in my area give them away. Seen a lot of modern military Bible's but I never got one.

Just picked up this navy jumper, not my main area of collecting but for $15 I couldn’t turn it down.    

Nice group. Beautiful chop.  Looks like it was made of agate. pretty stone.

Very nice.  I, myself, have been searching for pocket Bibles to use for reenacting. At the moment, I have two, one from 1946 and one from 1961.    Wade

Went to a few yard sales today and got a few things. I was given a ww2 Bible, and got a m1956 canteen cover with a 1943 canteen and 1918 dated cup. Which is the first ww1 military item I own (i have some ww1 era coins).

I scored a major victory in my personal Battle of the Bulge. I was able to resist having one of these bagels at work today. I shot this picture at about 8:30 AM, and someone took the last one at around 3:00 PM. While I visually admired them, and inhaled the wonderful aroma deeply, I did not take any. I love bagels, all toasty and slathered with melted butter. 😋But they are no match for my iron willpower. My new office environment is a place of pure evil 😈.  mikie
