VP-1400 BACK IN
STOCK!!! After being sold out for 3 years, we have
been able to get a quantity of my book, "River Patrol
Insignia". $55 |
This book is the most exhaustive study of the
insignia of the Navy River Patrol Forces in Vietnam.
Over 90% of the patches and uniforms shown were acquired
directly from the Veterans themselves. This book has
been unavailable for over 3 years and we are pleased to
have acquired some unopened copies!! Over three million
personnel served in Vietnam, but only those of the U.S.
Navy Task Force 116 wore the distinctive black beret
while serving and fighting as the River Patrol Forces in
the murky, brown waters of the Mekong Delta.
Those who served in Task Force 116 are among
the most elite teams deployed by the U.S. Navy in
Vietnam: PBRs, SEALs, Seawolves, and Black Ponies.
Their mission was to route the enemy deep
within the secluded waterways of the Mekong Delta. This
book illustrates the colorful insignia, emblems and
artifacts used by these units in great detail. Many of
these patches, jungle fatigues, and tiger stripes didn't
survive because of the environments of war in South East
Asia and the restrictions placed upon U.S. sailors.
The unit patches produced by the River Patrol
Forces used symbols of heraldry, strength, defiance, and
sometimes humor which represents the best of men
fighting to protect their
brothers in arms.
