Bluejacket.com has NO business connection with these firms and does not endorse or vouch for
their service.
Patches/Insignia

specific cruise patches if you really want to be reminded of a "be-no" cruise.

stock and fair pricing. Former submariner has all the U.S. submarine patches.
LJMilitaria.com
Lee-Jackson Militaria stocks original patches and other vintage military gear.

some missing squadron patches.

small unit
insignia - brown water Navy specialist.
Military-Graphics - Jim,
Navy retired, turns any patch or military emblem into a vinyl decal for a reasonable

his book on
USCG patches.

Big daddy military device supplier but mostly generic stuff for your grandma's
shelf

All services, a bit of everything and well organized.
Posters
PostersInc.com - Reproductions. Main source for the recruitment
poster dealers.
Pictures
DefenseLink.mil -
Latest images and news releases from DOD. URL seems to change weekly.
archives.gov - National

Institute picture library has all U.S. Navy ship photos back to 1900 for a fee.
National Naval Aviation Museum - Buehler Library holds over 500k U.S. naval
aviation photos and on request will provide a limited number of digital scans

Note:
Most patch/insignia and poster dealers stock reproductions. Original items are rare
but occasionally may be found. Watch out for highly padded "shipping and
handling" fees of some eBay dealers. If you don't see the shipping fees
posted it is best to verify shipping and handling fees before you buy.
