Default Vietnam Veterans patches and clings

I just wanted to let everyone know that a Corvette Forum member has made available a static cling using the same design as my Vietnam Veteran – Corvettes patch. These clings are 3 in. in diameter and are designed to be placed on your windshield or other glass (see picture below). This is not a decal and it can be easily peeled off. These clings are FREE. If you want one of the clings, just send a self addressed, stamped envelope to:

Don Zullinger
2928 Adams Drive
Chambersburg, PA 17201

Please include a note indicating how many clings you want.




Also, I have given out almost 400 of the patches. I still have several people on my list who have sent me PMs or emails indicating a desire to obtain a patch, but who failed to send me their mailing address. So, if you want a patch, please click on my forum name and send me an email that includes your name and mailing address. The patches are 3 in. in diameter and are embroidered on a white twill material. They can be ironed on or sewn on. These patches are also FREE.

Nice of you for sure. How about a run of OEF/OIF patches?

As a viet vet from the 60's I still get surprised when someone says thank you for your service. How times have changed. The change has been a good one.

Had an old Viet vet lic plate frame. Sanded it down and painted to match my yellow vet. Used a satin black for the lettering. Thank you both for the clings and the patch.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I left Hue Phu Bai in April 1972. Not long before we pulled out entirely. Times have changed. I now have a Vietnam Veteran license plate on my Vette. They didn't have those 45 years ago. If they had, I'm sure my car would have been trashed.

It wasn't popular to be a soldier back then. We were unpopular people in an unpopular war.

I can tell you in Georgia, I hear "Thank you for your service" almost every day.

It's a nice change.

Glad you made it back from Phu Bai/Hue. Tough place to be during the 1968 Tet offensive. Times have really changed for the better. Many of my younger nieces and nephews do not know that I was even in Vietnam.

Wonder if the patches and window clings are still available from the old thread?

Yes the patches and clings are still available.

If you want a patch, email me (use forum email) with your name and address. I would also like to know what unit you served with and when and where you served in Vietnam

If you want one of the clings, just send a self addressed, stamped envelope to:

Don Zullinger
2928 Adams Drive
Chambersburg, PA 17201

Please include a note indicating how many clings you want.

Regards,
Charles

Took advantage of your generosity a couple of years ago. Have used the window patch continuously. Thanks!
I, also, spent a year in Phu Bai (1970-71) w/the 101st Abn Div

Why would you feel uncomfortable? I feel they're being very patriotic.
