My Father is a retired Army CID agent. I'am trying to put together a shadow box for his birthday that includes his medals, unit patches ect. He served with the 92nd. MP Battalion and the 545 MP Platoon/Company prior to transferring to the 503 MP Battalion. I'am trying to find the unit crest and or patch that he would have worn to include in the project. Can anyone help? Thanks

Comments: If you are planning a visit to Korea during the 50th Anniversary of the Korean War and served as military policemen here, I would like to hear from you. I am currently stationed in Korea. I work for the US Forces Korea Provost Marshal. We are looking for some way to honor the MPs who served before us during one of the 12 official events. So far, we have not found any group of MPs planning to attend any of the events. I would like to hear from you, especially if you are part of a group of MPs coming over here.
