These came together in an estate. Does anyone recognize the tab and how does it relate to the 82nd Airborne? As always, the knowledge of this group is greatly appreciated. Just FYI the veteran was also a Boy Scout and the tab reminds me of the design and style of scouting patches so if this is not military please forgive the error.

There's an interesting one

 

Must have sucked...just finish years of war, only to be dropped into the Alaskan wilderness as a testing bed for potential operations against the USSR. Bet it paid off during Korea

So cool, it's frigid!

 

As a side note if I am remembering correctly there is video footage of Jones's fatal jump... but that comes with a word of caution before attempting to watch it.

Another good reason to be member here or ASMIC! All the great info you have just learned about how a simple, 'maybe a boyscout patch' became a very nice collectible patch! You can NEVER learn enough about military collecting hobby. The more you learn, the more you can help yourself and other collectors. Great find and glad you thought twice about the patch. ASMIC has a great article about this patch and the whole operation. Worth the time to check it out.
