Didn't realize how busy we have been the past few months. As usual, nothing special but stuff the kid and I like, mostly helmets. I think the kid got the bug too! Several of them were suprises for the kid as he has been saving/spending his money on some of his other interests. Lots of photos, I hope I get them all in order and labeled correct. Several of these have been posted on the Forum, independantly, already.

We have ID'd this duffle bag as belonging to a B-17 crew member.

A couple of Korean War era US M1 shells, not sure what we are going to do with them yet.
Picked up these 1974 dated goggles to add to our VN M-1
Several US helmet covers we picked up here and there
The kids favorite he put on our K-Pot, we grabbed about a dozen of these that were marked up, out of a hug bin. All looked to come from the same USMC group deployed someplace in the middle east.
