Default Re: Viet Nam unit patches

Grump, I'm a computer dummy, so I'll just post a link to our unit society's web page. The patch, a simple red diamond, is promently displayed.
If your ship provided gunfire support to the Marines along the DMZ, you helped us as well.
The 1st Infantry Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized), US Army, was OPCON'ed to the 3rd Marine Division. The New Jersey was gone by the time I got there, but she was still being talked about. With great respect, I might add.
We did continue to recieve naval gunfire support even after New Jersey left.
