USAFSS Patch
with Original Colors
You've been looking for it ... you've been asking for it ... but, just
couldn't find it - until now!
Until now, the only Air Force Security Service patch available for sale on the Internet had
the faded, washed out powder blue and pale yellows that came later - but, just not the original, crisp,
brightly colored USAFSS patch that we once wore proudly.
Finally, a high-quality, embroidered USAFSS patch with true original colors is now available in two
popular sizes -
Small = 2 5/8 inches high (perfect for hats), and
Large = 4 inches high (shirt pocket size).
Proceeds from the sale of this item go toward supporting the ongoing
costs associated with supporting veteran websites.
By the way, if you happen to prefer the later USAFSS Patch that had the faded colors, be sure to
check out the
USAFSS Store listed below.

Misawa Challenge Coin
2011 Re-issue Edition
This is a Misawa Security Hill Challenge Coin, approximately
1½ inches in diameter, originally designed by Misawa veterans in 2002 and re-struck in 2011.
One side of this coin shows the USAF Security Service Shield over the Elephant Cage (FLR 9 Antenna), and is circumscribed with the
early unit designations: 1st RSM, 6921st RGM, 6989th RSM, and 6920th Scty Gp.
The reverse shows "Johnson Air Station" (former home of the 1st RSM), and a radio
receiver framed in lightning bolts (much like you may have used - less the lightning bolts, of course).
Below that are images of Mt. Fuji and a Torii gate - well-recognized icons of the country of Japan.
At the bottom is the inscription MISAWA AB JAPAN over which the Operation Eyesignt
emblem can be found.

USAFSS Ring
New Item
There is a guy down in Georgia - retired Navy - who hand makes all sorts of rings
from stainless steel nuts. He simply grinds away everything that doesn't look
like a ring!
Gordon Spurlock does some remarkable work and can provide the USAFSS ring very much like
what you see here. Because they are all hand made, no two rings are exactly identical.
Here's how to get yours -
- Have a jeweler size your finger for a wide band ring.
- Order your ring directly from Gordon
(email nutgrinder@comcast.net or
phone 912-265-9591).
- If you're happy with your ring when it arrives, send Gordon a check for $105 - otherwise, return the ring.
To visit Gordon's website, click the box below.

Custom Embroidered Trick Hats
After searching high and low, I finally discovered a place that does
great custom embroidery work, and at reasonable prices.
Don LaChappell of
JDL Graphics, Inc.
has been working with the 6918th, 6924th, and the 6927th organizations to custom
create not only hats and shirts, but coffee mugs, name badges,
mouse pads, window decals, bumper stickers, and on and on.
The hat shown here is just one of the designs that Don can do. This one
is navy blue, but is also available in
Green (Trick 1),
Blue (Trick 2),
Maroon (Trick 3), and
Black (Trick 4). Be sure to enlarge the image to
get a better look at the detail.
Did I mention reasonable pricing?
| $8.95 | | Trick Hat as shown
| | $12.95 | | Trick Hat, custom embroidering sides and/or back
| | $2.50 | | Shipping
|
I had Don do my own Trick hat and, not only was he able to embroider the
tour years/unit on one side and hometown/state on the other, but he put my
name on the back, both in English and in Japanese! Can you believe it??
To order your hat today - or just to browse some of the USAFSS items he
carries - either contact them directly through their website ...
JDL Graphics, Inc.
... or send Don an email at
jdlgraphics@yahoo.com
Either way, be sure to tell him Dutch sent you!

Operation Eyesight Lighter
New 2002 Reproduction
Many of you who served in Misawa will remember Operation Eyesight, headed and sponsored
by the men and officers on The Hill.
This most worthy project, first launched in the very early 1960's, raised
the funds needed to restore the eyesight of many Japanese children who,
due to the dust and impurities of tatami floor mats, had lost their vision and would
otherwise most likely have remained blind for life.
The Zippo lighter is a faithful reproduction, inscribed with Operation Eyesight,
Misawa A.B. Japan on the cap with the Operation Eyesight logo and slogan,
That Others May See, on the body.
Any proceeds from this item go either to Operation Eyesight, or to
provide a portion of the ongoing costs associated with supporting veteran websites.
Note: This is a closeout item - at last count, only 26 remained in stock.
Get yours before they're gone.
