Hello! Apologies for what might appear a stupid question. On one of my ebay searches I found a US 82nd Airborne SSI with the tab - instead of reading "Airborne" read "Belgium". I'm absolutely certain that it isn't a Belgian insignia, so is it an official US one of some type? A veterans' association perhaps? I'm a Belgian militaria collector first and foremost so apologies for being so green in the world of US collecting!

The vendor has a lot of "commemorative" patches.

 

I think he got the idea from some of the ones you see with a Vietnam or Grenada tab.

 

While his intention might be good, I can't imagine a real veteran of WWII buying this.
