Another display I made from my dad's momentos.  This one includes his handwritten address book of his buddies using a Japanese pocket notebook.  I am slowly seeing if any of those on my dad's list are still around.

Display Made

A display I made to honor my dad and I gave it to my sister who has two sons (Marines) who served on the Iraq/Afghanistan front. There is a fairly rare P-39 patch in here.

Can you help me by identifying what this patch means? Round with a three bladed prop in shades of green.
