Does anyone where collect or trade patches. Military, Law Enforcement, Medical, or Firefighter.

If any of you guys do, I would like to see what it is. I'm going to start posting pictures of what I have.
 
My pop was a patches collection. He got like 50 patches from WW2 including german army's patches
 
Don't really collect them per se, but I do have a flight jacket somewhere done up as if it were from a member of the US Navy's Jolly Rogers fighter squadron, when they were still VF-84 aboard the USS Nimitz (as opposed to being VF-103 now).
 
Most of my patches are from local law enforcement departments. I also have some military patches but my main hobbie is getting LEO and Firefighter patches.

I'll post pictures this coming weekend.
 
I am starting a collection.
I dont know if they are real old ones or replicas.
I got a few, and I hope to post theor pics as soon as possible.
And i am looking foreward to see yours if possible that is . :)
 
These are all the patches in my collection right now. I'm explain them by starting from the top and working left to right per row.

Generic patches are those used by multiple departments.
