Re: Catoosa event September 28th -30th

Does anyone know the best place to get 509th patches? Also, I've been looking into repainting my helmet but I cant find a consistent gingerbread man style. Some are red, some are white, and some are really fat short little gingerbread men. Do we all want to try and have the same style helmet markings?
