Coincidentally, I bookmarked this place on Madison St. in downtown Forest Park, approximately ten (10) to fifteen (15) minute walking distance from either CTA Harlem or Forest Park Blue Line station. The owner was friendly and offering assistance when Dad was mumbling about combat boots. Unfortunately, he didn't have much luck on finding his size. By the way, guys, for your information he wears women's size 7.5! There were some fun t-shirts, caps, beanies, outerwear, jumpsuits, and trousers with police and military themes. However, most of their items were priced on a much higher side. I was about to commit on purchasing a Chicago-flag t-shirt, substituting stars with skulls. I decided not to due to the intimidating caption and hefty price ($18 for a t-shirt). It was cool to see a dressing room for customer use. We had a great time browsing through the aisles. Items were well-organized in categories. If you were into collecting military and police gadgets, this shop would be appropriate for you to poke around.

Upstairs features the latest fashion wear & downstairs features the military & security wear, plus other miscellaneous items. My boyfriend bought a black dressy shirt for playing classy venues (he's a drummer in a band). I bought a hoodie since I forgot to bring a jacket on our trip. Very good service in this shop & great value on the items.

This past visit was because Bubba who just turned seven wanted the same 50 caliber bullet box that both of his brothers got in the prior visit he was only four years old at the time. They just love this place. We were there for probably two hours looking at everything. The guys that work in there are so accommodating and helpful. We actually drove from Naperville after I rented a car because I was visiting to bring him to the store. It was such an enjoyable afternoon to spend time with my great nephews.

My 8 year old son is very into military "stuff" at the moment and loves to see military metals, wear military clothing and is in general into typical 8 year old boy stuff. We were dining nearby and drove by Kenosha Military Surplus & Supplies and decided to stop in so he could look around. This is a pretty small shop, but they have a good selection of metals, clothing, patches, stickers and other military items. The man we met (I assume the owner) is a Vietnam veteran and was very informative and friendly. We spend 5-10 minutes speaking with him about his military service as well as items in the store. If you are looking for military items in the Kenosha area, this is definitely a good place to shop. Please give this veteran an opportunity to earn your business and thank him for his service to our country.
