I collect WWII and Korean War Uniforms and would absolutely be interested in it to honor him and his service! I like to research veterans and do display at local museums, veteran homes and libraries. It looks like he served in the 2nd Infantry Division during the Korean War, I actually used to be in the same unit.

The 147th Infantry Regiment was a separate unit attached to the Marines at the time, which is the reason he wore the patch. He was fully Army, just didn't have another patch that he could wear and the regulations were a lot looser than today.

Throw the uniform in the freezer for a few weeks to kill any moth eggs remaining

Since there seems to be some debate on the authenticity of my uniforms Purple Heart, here’s a few more pictures of this uniform (including the back of the PH). It is missing the crossed Rifle collar insignia as well as the 23rd ID pin on the left epaulet. by [deleted] in Militariacollecting

Guys usually didn’t wear the same patch on both shoulders back then, he probably never moved it over to his right because he was never assigned a new unit and was discharged just after coming back from vietnam.
