EDITOR’S CORNER
While attending to a V.A. Appointment at the V.A. Medical Center in Spokane, Washington, I met Becky and Rod Truitt both retired MARINES. This husband and wife team operates a military Hat-Patch & Badge Concession. They can be found at www.hatnpatch.com . For you former Airborne Rescueman/Firefighters, they have something special. These retro wings have been out of production for years, but Rod & Becky have located a source and presently have them in stock and can order more.
The price is $5.00 plus shipping. On the Web Site, in the “Search Box”, type in Air Rescue (it’s that easy). You can get 10% off your order by placing VCS in the Discount Code Box.
For everyone else, they have Wings, Patches, Badges and much more.
