Over the past week I have had a freind pass on a few patches he had duplicates of and I found a few DI's and a shoulder board at a flea market. I also found a New style army digital boonie hat dated 2004 with a BDU subued SSgt rank sewn to the front. Will post pictures of it when I can. Does any one know what the red, white and blue patch is?

the red/white/blue patch is a post war USAF Bomber sqd,63rd or 64th I think.

The pin on the left is for an AFJROTC SSgt.

The DI in the center w/ motto SPECTEMUR AGENDO is European Command Signal School and the DI on the right w/ motto DIXIE THUNDER is the 155th Armored Bde CT

The epaulet on the left appears to be a WW2 German Lieutenant epaulet for an Artillery(red) officer. I used to own a similiar epaulet with yellow backing. The cords are silver bullion and mine was cut off at the base, like yours. But I guess this could have belonged to another country or period.

The first patch is the 52nd Bombardment Squadron.
