WELCOME TO MY COLLECTION OF US NAVY US MARINE CORPS AND US COAST GUARD PATCHES THAT I HAVE BEEN AMASSING SINCE 1973. ALL THE PATCHES ARE MOSTLY FROM 1970 ONWARD WITH A FEW EARLIER ONES THAT HAVE KINDLY BEEN GIVEN TO ME. I TRY TO OBTAIN ALL MY PATCHES DIRECT FROM SQUADRONS ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE AND VARIOUS SELLERS HAVE BEEN INVALUABLE ALONG THE WAY.
THIS IS NO WAY MEANT TO BE A DEFINTIVE COLLECTION OR HISTORY OF SQUADRONS, WHICH IS AVAILABLE ELSWHERE, BUT A HELP FOR COLLECTORS AND ENTHUSIASTS OF THIS SUBJECT WORLDWIDE AND I HOPE A TALKING POINT. IF ANY ONE WOULD LIKE HI-RES SCANS OF ANY OF THE PATCHES FOR PERSONAL USE PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME, I DONT BITE AND LIKE TO HELP WHERE EVER POSSIBLE

I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY THANKS TO ALL THE PAOS AND PERSONNEL I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO MEET AND CONTACT OVER THE YEARS WITHOUT WHOSE HELP NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE

THANK YOU
