My father's 313th ASA Crest pin still on his old Ridgeway hat, this hangs in my collection room.
Him wearing it in Florida during the Cuban Missile Crisis
Yep Dad was with the 313th out of FT Bragg in 62' and 63' but spent most of his time in Key West for the Cuban Missile Crisis. He spent a lot of time in the back of an M37 with a AN/MLQ-24 monitoring Cuban radar. Here are a few pics from that time period.

That's cool to see another truck marked for an ASA company. Several of my trucks are marked as ASA trucks representing the ASA units my father served with. He was with the 226th ASA and 313th ASA in the 60's.
