Features of "Lucky 13":

• Panther Pack F-105 Thunderchief 13th Tactical Fighter Squadron patch. 
  The squadron's mascot was a full-grown black panther (Asian leopard), named Eldridge. The name Eldridge was chosen as a nod to Eldridge Cleaver who served as the Minister of Information for the Black Panther Party. Eldridge was kept in a large cage near the Squadron building and often taken for walks around the Base. Although tame, he was still a wild animal and after the war was given to the Phoenix Arizona zoo in 1973. 
  
  
• Vintage 1940's WWII USS Mississippi EAG-128 "Pirates" patch. 
  Mississippi provided gunfire support for the Lingayen landings in January 1945 and for the conquest of Okinawa in March-June. The battleship was damaged by suicide planes in both operations. She was present in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945, when Japan formally surrendered and returned to the United States soon thereafter.
