A 'one in a million' chance but I have to try

[burb1989]

Hi all. I, after many years, have decided to try and find an item that was my father's that symbolized his time in Vietnam. He was a mortarman in the 7th Marines, 2nd Battalion, Echo Company and actively served all of 1967 before being stationed in the states in January of 1968. Of all of the things my dad regretted not sneaking off base with to bring home were his 1911 (which I might never find) and his helmet, which I am trying to find. I know any ol Veitnam era infantry helmet would probably do but I would love to see if anyone has at least seen or has this helmet and liner or even just has seen or has the liner. Since he is getting up there in age I figured I would try and find it for him so that he could see it again in his lifetime. Here is a picture of my dad with his helmet for comparison. Thanks everyone and when I get a new purchase I'll post it up for everyone to see.
