Just had ANZAC day here in Australia. I had a Vietnamese lady come in looking for a beret for her husband to wear in the parade. She showed me a photo of him and could see he served in South Vietnamese army.
No surprise I pointed out the Vespa girl figures which brought a smile to her face. She straight away said that was her when she was young and bought the one with lady in white. Probably never see her again but I felt good about the sale as she was so happy to see a mini version of herself. Hope she has lots of friends who see it ^&grin Lucky she did not go for a Viet Cong AK47 girl !
Love your story. This must have been an interesting moment.

Yes, might have made you feel a little uncomfortable if she'd gone for one the AK47 wielding VC ! {sm4}
and as Steve says, must have been interesting hearing her story. Did she buy a Beret as well !?
Steve
A world over event, everyone always wants the best one. A brilliant scene Steve. Robin.
Steve,
Unfortunately the only green berets I have are on top of little British or French Commandos{sm4} I did connect her with a militaria business that sold berets and her husband is probably now wearing an Australian infantry beret which is pretty close in colour.
Cheers Robin !:salute::
Steve
Yes, your berets may be a little on the small side for her husband even if they were removable ! ^&grin
