I take that my original review was deleted, or I never posted it, but I'm still determining why;…read morewell, the Army Surplus Warehouse on E Loudon is my go-to for Army Surplus goods.
They have fair prices on all patches: Marine Corps, Navy, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, military wars, conflicts, and Veteran patches.
Plus, they have Army-issued backpacks, the University of Kentucky flags, and other items like vintage M-65 field jackets, vintage CWU-45 flight jackets, liners, license plate frames, and an assortment of pins. Please see attached photos for further details.
Today, I found several Great Lakes Naval Training Center food trays, not the separated sectional kind, but a tray to sit plates and cups on, which will work out well for the kids. They're always spilling drinks or food while watching TV or playing games. They were only $4.50 each.
Honestly, it's worth a stop to look around if you're in the vicinity. You never know what you might find. Also, I suggest calling if it's late in the afternoon to ensure that they're still open.
Finally, the owner is soft-spoken but willing to start a conversation. So, do not be too standoffish. Share some war stories. I've noticed that several other veterans stop in for a chat too.
