Good on you, Vinny! Well done and it is such a nice story how this all is turning out. Would be lovely to see a photo of Col Mosbey reunited with his old jacket!

 

[Vinny]

That’s the plan. He gets back the 23rd and I’m sure he’ll take a pic with it and send it to me When he does I’ll post it on here

now, that's inspiring. many, many years ago, a former member, Simon, acquired a lot of mostly original a-2s, and to defray his investment, he went about selling some on greedbay. he was contacted by a woman who saw one of his listing, and wrote to him that the jacket was her fathers, and was stolen some years before. upon sending him detailed info, Simon took the listing down and for the price of shipping, sent the jacket to the woman. in this era of bad, sad news, there are glimmers of kind, and honorable events that off set the bad shit.

Great to see how it was accomplished, congrats!!!!

WOW! You don't see this often! Bravo @Vinny

 

[Vinny]

The shipping was paid for by myself and a couple vet buddies. We refused the Colonels
offer to pay for it. ……. But…. He is mailing me my ten bucks back with his signature on the bill
I’ll probably frame it….

The Black Knights are a Marine unit, aren't they?

Ah ha -- just got to the "exchange" program.

Yes they are a Marine Squadron at Miramar MCAS. My son was in this Squadron years ago.
