About This Item

Original Travel Bug Patches

The original travel bug patchs: 1) U.S. Army Vietnam patch, 2) Military Assistance Command Vietnam and 3) The Burning Worm.
My interest in the military started as a small boy. I collected dozens of Army patches including these. My dad is a retired cook from the Wisconsin National Guard field artillery and the Navy Seabees.
I enlisted even before I graduated from high school. I served in the Army from 1986-1990 as a combat tank crewman on the M1 Abrams.
Hopefully this travel bug will raise awareness to the sacrifice veterans have made and active soldiers make everyday.

Thanks Penny of Baack40 for all the nice photos and special care that you've given the Vietnam vets travel bug. It seems to find people who appreciate it and keep it safe. I'm so glad the bug has been lost or stolen.
Best regards,
Ron

Had logged this cache in the past but stopped while in town to take pics for you. Wonderful memorial park in New Lexington, Ohio. This memorial park is about 7 miles south of where I live so had to take it here.

  • Memorial for the Veterans of Vietnam They really have a nice monument here in New Lexington, Ohio for the Vietnam Veterans.
  • Bigger pic of the monument for the Vietnam Veteran Someone put a lot of thought into this monument.
  • This little memorial park divides the ST Rt 13 New Lexington, Ohio Town take really great care of this this little park. It divides ST RT 13 so you can't miss it. Great tributes to all the war veterans here.

Picked this up from a great Travel Bug Hotel. Several TB's there but this one tugged at my heart. Had to grab it to move it one. Will move it on to an appropriate cache. Thanks for sharing your story and your TB. Will be honored to move this one along.
