I got this at a flea market for $5, since it has a 37th patch on it, and the unit was deactivated in 1945, does anyone know what I got here? The shirt is dated 1958.

Ohio National Guard my friend, reactivated again in the Ohio National Guard in 1946. The large Specialist 5th Class ranks on the long sleeve Khaki shirt indicate a shirt worn from 1958 to around the mid to end of 1965, after this the Army to include Reserve componates switched to the short sleeve shits where Shoulder patches were prohibted from being worn.

From the Institute of Heraldry on the SSI-

 

The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 37th Division on 5 November 1918. It was redesignated for the 16th Engineer Brigade on 9 July 1968. It was cancelled on 4 December 1969. The insignia was reinstated and redesignated effective 1 September 2007, for the 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, with the description updated and a symbolism added.
