: Alot of 119th guys are getting older and some
: may have even passed away. No way of telling
: if these 119th patches are for real but they
: come from Estate sales. I guess we have no
: way of knowing how many patches were issued
: during the VN war. I do know that about 6
: years ago a 119th guy had some remade and
: sold them at the VHCMA Reunion. I think he
: was getting 5.00 bucks each. Hardley for
: profit.
That's Jim Bodkin, from the 145th CAB (Vietnam) Assn, Tom. The 119th was assigned to the 145th for a short while before the 52d was formed.
Years ago, Al Mixer sent Jim an original 119th Gator patch and Jim had it duplicated. I have a mess of them, and Jim still has some available. Email is:
