I hope that these will help you with your project. I really think that your choice of patches is fantastic. The first vest is the one that I wear for veteran type events like Run for the Wall and funeral escorts. I think of it as my formal vest. It has an Operation iraqi Freedom veteran patch because I am proud to have served this great nation. It also has two Patriot Guard patches, one national and the other a local chapter. The POW/MIA patch I got when I road with my father in law (a Viet Nam Vet) in the Run for the Wall. The back of the vest has another Patriot Guard local patch. The large patch ,I think says it all. The second vest is my every day vest. It has my name and US ARMY. It also has a badge pin that my old partner from my law enforcement days gave me recently. It has my combat action badge and my flight medic wings as well. The patch under my name is the Multi National Forces Iraq patch which is my combat unit patch. The one under the US ARMY tape is my squad patch from Iraq. It is read " Unlucky One Three". There is a patch that shows my love for our flag and another for our missing brothers and sisters. The back shows my more rebellious side and is what makes it inappropriate for the veteran type events. The Breezy Rider patch speaks for itself. Betty Boop is my all time favorite pin up girl. Again there is the veteran patch. The two smaller patches I think speak volumes.' It is better to be hated for who you are then loved for who you are not" and ' I would rather be an open sinner than a false saint". Just my view on things.
