I am pleased to offer the
results of a 4 year project that
Stephen Kirby
and I have completed entitled "River Patrol
Insignia of the United States Navy (Vietnam) 1966-1972". 168
pages. 375 color photos. Large format, deluxe binding.
This
book illustrates the colorful insignia, emblems, and
artifacts used by these units in great detail. Many of the
patches, jungle jackets, and tiger stripe uniforms 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". The black berets and the distinctive
unit patches emblazoned on their jungle jackets and worn
into battle brought these men together as a fighting unit.
$49.99.
