    Yes, I do.
    I also served in the US Army, for many years.
    Thank you for your service, my good man.

    I served, too, but can't say I recognize the unit.
    Enjoy!

    If you recognize it - where from? Or what was it? [Just curious] :smile:

    The shoulder insignia looks very familiar.
    Perhaps from all my travels during the first Gulf War.
    A Military Intelligence or logistics unit where I did a layover one stormy afternoon.

    Can't remember, quite honestly.

    Not even close.

    It was the insignia of USCOMZEUR, United States Communications Zone, Europe a supply pipeline from Spain, through FRANCE into Germany. It went under when His Highness Charles de Gaul threw us out. I was assigned there from 1958 to 1960 and again in 1961 during the Berlin Wall crisis.

    I would've said 1st Infantry Division until I saw Vietnam in it. Perhaps it was a brigade separated to serve there.

    I recognized it as a military patch - or rather I guessed it was - but fook me if I know where its from. For all I knew, this was an old cavalry brigade's patch.

    back in the Navy, we had this crazy idea of putting letters and numbers on our patches ;)
