When I was a teen in the 1980s I had an Army field coat I wore just about everywhere. I had only one patch sewn in it. The 802nd which I bought from a vendor at a flea market. I was proud to wear it even though I joined the Navy later in life.

My dad, LT Perley Charles Brainerd was in the 814th at some point, but may have also been a different group. I know nothing about his time at war or where he was. It’s late now but wish there was a way to find out more.
