The Items In This Lot:
- Type II Desert Camouflage “Hot Weather Sun Hat” Boonie: The boonie has the name Poole written on the tag. The boonie is in a size 7 ⅝ and in great, slightly worn condition. The type of camouflage pattern is the Desert Camouflage Uniform DCU pattern.

- x4 “Black Cat” Patches: All patches, although different in design, features the same image of a large black cat carrying what appears to be carrying a smaller cat, with the text 41st Tactical Airlift SQ, 41st Airlift SQ and 41st Troop Carrier.

- x3 USAF Command/Mobility/Expeditionary Wing Patches: The best patch in this lot is the Air Mobility Command patch because of the challenge coin inserted by hand into the back of the patch. The coin is glued into position and we do not want to remove it. This was a common practice to do, especially when trading patches with other coalition forces.

- x3 Rank Chevrons: The ranks signify Airman First Class (E-3), Senior Airman (E-4) and Staff Sergeant (E-5).

- Afghan Gunrunners Patch: The patch features an image of a large aircraft dropping a crate by parachute.

- UCC Patch: We believe the patch to be for the Unit Control Centers.

- x2 Name Tape Patches: The patches would have been worn on the front of his flight suit. They read as SSGT JUSTIN POOLE.

All items are in wonderful condition and comes more than ready for further research and display.
