I am making a shadow box for my father who was in the Air Force from 1968 to 1972. I need some help finding patches.

Thank you sir.

You are most welcome. Also, if you write to the Air Force personnel center at Randolph AFB, Texas, they can provide medals he was awarded if his records were digitized. Good luck with your project. You're a good son.

Great information Sir!

I did a shadow box for my Father. He was Army Air Corps during WWII and then USAF during Korea. I had a devil of a time obtaining his medals as the Army said he was Air Force and they said he was Army. It took some time, but I did receive All his medals and awards. The interesting part of my search was the lack of Unit Patches! Since he was the youngest of the seven GREENE boys, he was ALWAYS in a ‘training’ status! My Ungle Eugene was MIA during the Battle of Midway, two oldest brothers too old for Active Duty and neither had any children. The other four brothers managed to connect in Italy during WWII. That meant if my Father was deployed, it might end the GREENE family. So, he was shuffled from training base to training base until the end of Korean Conflict. I guess you might say he was an original ‘Private Ryan’!Maj Mike Sciales
