greg, welcome to the group.. the sites fun and has interesting discussions.. it's nice seeing how other departments and countries work, but i love seeing all the different apparatus used all over the world.. word to the wise, if you wanna trade patches be careful.. there are a few people here looking to get one and not reciprocate.. i will not mail anything till i have something in hand, but you do what you want.. my goal now is not to get a patch, i do not collect them.. but rather, being a brother watch your back and warn you like we should all do good or bad, it's what the brotherhood is all about.. if you wanna add me as a friend, great .. if not that too is OK, my message is intended to welcome you to the group..
be safe and god bless..
lucky
