See, now that is more like it. Instead of sports cards, the military needs more of this to show kids what a hero should look like.
Thanks for sharing Sir!!!

Nice Collection
Nice collection. I agree most of the pictures date from 59-63ish.
Never see that these days. Not PC.

Calendars
AT least it is not a calendar with shirtless men with BDU pants and UDT shorts negotiating parts of an obstacle course. The Navy SEALs have one every year, at least for the last few.
I was told by a reliable source that they sell them at certain womens functions and raise the money for various Navy and Special Warfare foundations.

I see no problem with this concept.

I did look at all the pictures and I have similar pictures from my time period for 11, 35, 36, 42, 51 and 62.

Topps issued a series of Korean War trading cards under the moniker Freedom's War: http://www.topps.com/Entertainment/F...m/freedom.html.
Topps issued three card sets in connection with Desert Storm, and apparently in coordination with DOD: http://www.topps.com/Entertainment/F...sertstorm.html
I'm not sure of any more recent ones.

Cool cards!

Even though my time in SF was in the 60s, I've never seen these cards,
Interesting.

About the same time that these were floating around there was also a story line about SF in VN in the Sunday Comic Strips. Ran for about a year IIRC.
