Wow sarge that's an impressive grouping of items. Did you bring home both of those sks's? My dad brought one home too but he got rid of it since he didn't like the memories attached to it (it had killed a friend of his on a weapons cache raid). My dad's vc flag was more of the stereotypical "war trophy". He did keep it as a good luck charm when he used to play softball back in the 80s. That's where I found my dad's flag later on when I was looking for his Vietnam items: at the bottom of his softball bag under his glove and wadded up next to some ancient crusty sweat towels.
