And lets see some of your rare unit patches. http://www.flyingtigerssurplus.com/product-images/lg/P3160VF_lg.jpg http://www.flyingtigerssurplus.com/product-images/std/P3160.jpg 3rd Signal. Ran into some of them when I was at Hood back in the day. I don't think they are around anymore....

Old/unique patches are always interesting. FWIW I have seen more 170th IN BDE patches here at Benning than anywhere else.

Thats right. The Food Lion grocery chain had its own Airborne Battalion Combat Team, bitchez.
Kind of sucked that we didnt get to wear Div patches and had to wear the leg SETAF patch. ugh. Hell even 173rd got to wear their own but not us, we had to wear the stupid assed Food Lion. Whats really pathetic I heard SETAF now has a SETAF Tab. FLMFAO. I bet SETAF school must be really hard lol |

From my father: "The 155th med detachment (Vietnam); 306th Field Hospital, 330th General Hospital, 330th Combat Support Hospital, and my last sash was Deputy Commander of Eisenhower AMC"
I'm sure some of yall are good at finding these insignia/patches. I can't locate a couple. If I could get some help finding the unit patches, I would greatly appreciate it - I think it would make a great Christmas gift |
