The sign has reinforced sides and four grommet holes in each corner to hang or attach to the wall. This sign has a nice weathered/vintage look and was made in the U.S. to honor the brave "Tunnel Rats" who were American, Australian, New Zealander and South Vietnamese soldiers who performed underground search and destroy missions during the Vietnam War. Vietnam War "Tunnel Rats" (U.S. & Allied Forces) "Tunnel Rats" were given the task of destroying enemy tunnels, gathering intelligence within them and killing/capturing their occupants, often in close combat conditions. Typically, a "Tunnel Rat" was equipped with only a standard issue pistol/revolver, bayonet, flashlight and explosives. The "Tunnel Rats" first garnered public attention in Jan 66, after a combined U.S. and Australian military operation against the Cu Chi tunnels in Binh Duong Province, known as Operation Crimp. The "Diehards" of the U.S. Army's 1st Engineer Battalion later were "Tunnel Rats" during their rotation through the Cu Chi District of South Vietnam in 1969."
