Hometown Heroes History and Displays Honoring all veterans from all eras with traveling military displays.

We must remember that for us these wars just may be history but for our veterans they live it every day.

The newest addition to Hometown Heroes History and Displays Vietnam war collection. Today we picked up a replica "tiger cage" that was donated by Vietnam war veterans chapter 154. The "tiger cage" is made from bamboo and twine and was used by the North Vietnamese (NVA) or Viet Cong (VC) as a method of imprisoning American servicemen who were captured. But in our display this cage will not be used as a reminder of the imprisoned but as a reminder of all those who we were able to bring home to their families. Always remember and never forget.

We at Hometown Heroes History and Displays paid homage to those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms on this memorial Day, we attended the Farmington hills parade and drove around Grand Marshall lieutenant colonel Rocky Raczkowski.

This camouflage uniform is crafted from a durable, medium-weight cotton duck canvas, mirroring the design of the P-44 United States Marine Corps uniform. It features two bladder pockets on the chest area, one small chest pocket, and the pants have two cargo-size pockets on the legs, in addition to the distinctive 'monkey pocket' on the rear. Notably, this uniform is made from a Mitchell Paige pattern shelter half utilized by the United States Marine Corps during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was specifically tailored for Cpl. Thomas Price, a member of the United States Marine Corps from 1961 to 1966, in Okinawa, Japan, used a shelter half that he was able to acquire. This is just one uniform from the collection belonging to Cpl. Price.

Some highlights from my recent program to Vietnam with the Best Defense Foundation. I was honored to be one of two next-gen students selected for their inaugural Vietnam program. We had the privilege of having 8 MacV SOG veterans join us, including 6 CCN, 1 CCC, and 1 CCS. Our journey took us from Saigon to DaNang and Hue, visiting key action points across the country. Walking alongside the veterans, hearing their stories, and treading on grounds my grandfather fought on was truly unforgettable. I also had the chance to meet Jack Carr and many other remarkable individuals.
