National Headquarters Patches in YELLOW windows are pieces I have not yet been able to obtain and preserve for real. Many of these images were submitted by visitors of this website when an actual patch was not available to send in. Even just documenting a patch with only its likeness, is better than no historical representation at all. If you do have an extra one of these for sale or trade, please e-mail me!
