...oh, and a selection of ARNG razorbacks...and so it goes....   Mark sends

There's a large amount of loose rank, branch insignia....hats, etc...a set of BDUs and his dress greens, as well as his flight jacket and a complete set of dress blues. He said his father was adamant that he not spend eternity in a uniform, so he was buried in civvies....   Mark sends

A cased Arkansas Commendation Medal on the loose....

Right as Theresa arrived, Mike was one step ahead of her with his father's items. He'd stopped in a few weeks ago to tell us about his father and to ask if we would give his dad's artifacts a home...the following Tuesday he had a heart attack and was laid up for a bit, so he made it a priority to get almost all of his dad's remaining items to us...he still plans on bringing his fathers shadow box with his awards and decs...the sexiest item of the lot was his dad's flight helmet....   Mark sends

I was issued the US Army type in 1963 during basic training at Ft. Gordon.  We called them "KP Caps." never understood why.  Post Basic training we wore the Ridgeway cap. Liners were sold at the PX for the KP Caps to make them look stiff.  Nice post.

..and finally, a German match safe...but note the prominent USA matches!   Mark sends

There's also a bunch of uniform buttons, and these paper items. Both the Camp Sheridan and Camp Sherman items fold out into what are essentially yard long photos. Another mystery is who Anita was.....the 1910 census shows the WWII vet, his parents and siblings at this address, but neither of his sisters was named Anita...who knowns?

There's a few chevrons...a nice selection of collar disks....and two blank dog tags...when I saw the first one, I thought to myself, "Self, mystery solved." False. 

This is a still reasonably nice Trench Mortar patch...note the bullion on the stripes and the tail fins...

A very squat First Army and 84th Infantry Division, and a 27th Infantry Division Liberty Loan patch...even though those Loan patches are fairly common, this is the first one we've received.....
