The Iron Brigade Posted January 23, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2017 The 9th Cavalry Regiment became the 509th Tank Battalion on October 20, 1950.

Patchcollector Posted January 23, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 23, 2017 There's also the 509th Armored Field Artillery. Here are some pics from eBay showing some 509th AFA Soldiers wearing Armored Triangle patches. High Flight Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silver wings; Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, where never lark, or even eagle flew; and while, with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. John Gillespie Magee, Jr. June 9, 1922 – December 11, 1941 " And each man stands with his face in the light of his own drawn sword. Ready to do what a hero can." - Elizabeth Barrett Browning Don't let the B@stards wear you down -"Vinegar" Joe Stillwell Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world.Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves.All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people. George Bernard Shaw " Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining" , Fletcher,from the movie "The outlaw Josey Wales" Link to post Share on other sites
