'Patches? I ain't got no patches. I need patches! I will send you some stinkin' patches!'

Well, not actually 'stinkin', and only if you want to, and you send me one of yours first... I'll send you one of my new unit patches in return.  I am just now starting my patch collection, and while I don't ever think I'll get to the level of 'Ace' Browning out in MNWG, I think it would be fun to get close to that level, eventually.

This post was actually inspired by some recent conversation by Maj Chad Derby, PAO and SE from the 119th ANG Cadet Squadron in Fargo, ND.

Chad asked me if I wanted to trade with him and if I had a collection going myself, which I answered to the negative. So not only did he send me one of his unit's patches, but a couple USAF patches too to help get my collection going. Thanks a lot Chad... I'll be sending you back a Boulle-Norman M.C.S. patch and a Michigan Wing patch too, hopefully you do not have the latter either. ;-)

The best part about doing this is it only costs the price of one USPS 1st Class stamp! How ya like that?
