I've had quite a few relatives who have had Commando or sapper patches. It's almost amusing some of the stories told about them. Like how after WWII one of them was asked by the Local cops to examine various potential Unexploded Ordinance found in the area. Or theres the one who's daughter had lots of Hungarian "Boyfriends" early in the cold war. Lets just say that the boyfriends talks with daddy are still classified.
Sometimes I wish I was a man of half their calliber.
