I had the great privilege to interview a living legend, Joseph Valicenti. Mr. Valicenti is more popularly known as The Badge Maker and is the expert on Civil War Corps Badges and ID Tags.
On this episode we get a better understanding of the badges and ID tags that are the predecessors to today's Army's patches and dog tags.
