Major Z Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Those may be pads for VIP birds. That practice still exists. As an example, the A Co of 2-1 GSAB (now stationed at Fort Riley) provides that service today.

patches Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 121st Aviation Company with MACV's patch. Don't know the significance of the ARMOR type patch in the center, and we can't make out the word on the "tab", we do see the RVN colors on the yellow portion on the diagonal though. Perhaps it has something to do with the ARVN 9th Armored Cavalry Regiment???, the ARVN 9th ACR was since 1966 based at Soc Trang, maybe the 121st AVN Co flew support for it from time to time???

patches Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Found this online photo from a Gomer Pyle episode, here we see the 5th and 3rd Marine Division patches as a wall plaque. While it's known that the Marine Corps stopped wearing them after WWII, they still retained them to use up to the present day as a matter of fact, they where, and are use in and on all sorts of things, Stationary, Letter Heads, integrated into unit signage, on rare occasion on vehicles/aircraft, you name it. BTW the Cpl is actor William Christopher. Link to post Share on other sites

patches Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 As one might think Divisional Shoulder Patches started to appear on bass Drums, oh I imagine in the early 20s, maybe as early as 1919. So go ahead and post any patches on bass drums you can find as I think there cool and interesting. Here is the 43rd Infantry Div band in Germany circa 1952-53. Link to post Share on other sites
