Misc. Patches and Badges

[b] Here is some misc. patches and badges brought back by a US soldier who served extensively in the Southern and Eastern portion of Europe. I think the Kyrgyzstan patch may have been from a training exercise. The TMK badge is from the Kosovo Protection Corps. I didn't know they existed until I did research on the badge. They only had 5,052 members. Here is a link that details what they did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_Protection_Corps

Of interest is the APM badge. This is a rare abdge from the Macedonian Border Guards.[

Also of interest is the Russian national patch and the older style Russian VDV patch./b]

Jeez Arch...How do you find some of this stuff?
Seeing recent former soviet bloc stuff is pretty uncommon..especially with Joint US exercises.

My surplus shops had a distinct lack of such bins, I find it a damn shame. I guess I need to live closer a base.
