patches Posted April 12, 2019 Share #76 Posted April 12, 2019 Probably because he's in the 38th Infantry. That regiment's motto is also "Rock of the Marne." Yes indeed, the 38th Infantry. He also is a 3rd Award Combat Infantryman's Badge holder.

Nkomo Posted September 8, 2019 Share #77 Posted September 8, 2019 I figure I would add my example. I was going through my uniforms in preparation for an upcoming militara show and was planning on taking this with me to sell. However, I am thinking this might need to go back into the collection. Anyway, here is my M-1951 jacket with 7th Army on the sleeve and 6th Cav (thanks Matthew Hanne) on the chest pocket. Yellow and green name tape on the right breast which would indicate Armored Cav I do believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Army tape is washed out. It's very similar with Field Artillery personnel in post #33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
