This is so full of amazingly interesting details that I would love to know more about. It's also one of the coats I thought I'd try to return to its owner if I could manage to find them. (It's been a struggle to even look. I've heard that a lot of our military who fought overseas truly did not want these things when they came home. Not sure how common that is, and the last thing I would ever want to do is cause a veteran any distress.) Back to the jacket .. I'm not sure if this is something legitimately created by a member of our military or not. I'm the proud daughter of a US Marine. My dad went to Korea to fight. He's gone now, and I greatly miss him. If he were here today, I'd be bring all these coats to him asking with my 10,001 questions. ???? Thanks for reading this.
Try your local VFW.
Looks like a tour jacket, memorializing service.
A search on this site for “Viet Nam tour jacket “ will pull up some examples. Believe I have a few posted.
