A Topic First.

 

The I Troop Carrier Command Patch Type Crest as seen here on the Garrison Cap, it was a Stateside unit, but was this patch worn as an actual shoulder patch really???

Berlin Brigade. The Institute Of Heraldry shows it has had this approved DUI since 1967.

Greetings all, this soldier above wears the Berlin Brigade DUI (miniature version of the SSI) authorized for wear in 1983. *Worn by personnel assigned to HHC Berlin Brigade and the aviation detachment at Templehof Air Base. (Note post 432)

The DUI, Serves The Select  was the HHC DUI until being replaced in 1983 and worn by soldiers of the Combat Support Battalion.

Very cool 17th Cavalry Reconnaissance Sqdn., (2nd variation), patch type crest being worn.   These may have been made between March and May of 1946, when the 2nd variation of the patch was adopted and before their actual crests were made.

Uniform up on FB MKT, has 6th Army right shoulder SSI and Pacific Command left shoulder SSI. There should be different unit crests worn w the Pacific Cmd patch, they may not have changed them out. 

[easterneagle87]

How about this one. Just remind me if the unit. And yes. It should have Aircrew wings, not an Aviators wing.

Here's a little gouge on Vincent A. Stace. His contributions towards the war effort in guided missile research is notable.
