FSSF sleeve insignia

Have a guess:

Fine Examples of the patch. Seen many that are just rags now, and still they are worth a bundle!
I think the best one I ever saw was on display at a gun show in Spokane WA. It was all red and white beads with a buckskin backing. The guy said it belonged to a native in the force. Don't know if he was US or Canadian native. It was beautiful, and of course, NOT for sale. Any Forcemen remember that patch?------------------G. Dufresne

This may be a shot in the dark, but my uncle Charles E. Schneider (2-1) had a friend from the force that he called “Wolf” From the family stories that I have heard Wolf was an Indian. We live about 50 miles from Spokane. I hope that this helps

Perhaps it was Tommy Prince. First Nations man from Canada. Most decorated First Nations man ever.
Google him, a great story of a Forceman. He was in Mark Radcliffe"s Company. Mark lives in Helena. Mans the Museum (at Fort Harrison) when able, on Thursdays. You can google Col. Mark Radcliffe and read some about him.

Google Tommy Prince. What a guy!

He talked very kindly of Tommy Prince. Tommy may have been the only Indian, (First Nation) person in the Force.

best of luck,

Thank you Pat and Matt: I will be looking that up ASAP. I finally got those pics of my fathers sent to Eric. I hope they got through. Nothing in the way of Force pic's----but all from behind the front lines in support. I really hope it has some memory jogging ability, but after this long----who can say? -------------Gerald A.
