Very nice...congratulations on getting it all back together!

Thanks! No name, unfortunately. I thought about trying to ask the person running the booth at the antique store, but I'm sure they just bought it at one of the many, many estate sales around here.

Ran into another photograph from the 250th Army Birthday showing 101st soldiers, from what I believe are the 1-187th and 626th LSB based on their organizational beret flashes on the Army black beret, marking down Constitution Avenue in DC. I like the look! I think more units should get permission to where a unit-specific beret flash on the black beret. It makes wearing the black beret a little special, better "esprit de corps."

Jay is currently Jennifer and defies just about every stereotype out there. A billionaire who served in the 82nd as an enlistedman, who is also a Chicago Jewish Republican, that then became an officer in the Guard and later transitioned to a Woman called Jennifer.... you can't make this stuff up. She also was a huge supporter of the US WWI Centennial donating over 13 million dollars and hosting events at the Pritzker Library.      Scott

Awsome find! Is it named? I think it was worth blowing your budget 😂

Awesome.  91st stuff is great. 

Thanks! Yah, I’m super proud of this one. Probably my best find from this year so far.

I’ll gamble on patches all day long at $5 and especially with this.   thanks for showing!

sweet grouping! I especially like how its from the 91st, as my great great grandfather was in the 91st in WWI.

I feel your pain..... 🤣.. It was a miserable place in June. 1989... Hard to believe    36 years.....   I have another memory of Jay Pritzkers leadership. He had a station wagon. And every time we went to the field, he had a buddy of mine drive it and follow the convoy out to the field. So imagine this scene. Its November, cold, snowed that night. The whole company is spread around the woods laying on the ground sleeping in  the bags. I remember waking up and I was covered in snow. The Captain?.................... He slept in his station wagon. Privilege of rank... I guess? But I have to tell you. This was an Infantry company.... It didn't look good to the Men. I personally always shook my head at the whole station wagon scenario. Pritzker eventually moved on. Like all officers in our Company. 2 years and gone. The NCO's? They could stay with the company for years, as long as they were viable doing their jobs, they could do their 20 years in the same company. Pritzker was 2 and gone like the rest. Cant say we missed him. Pritzker is a public figure so I believe I can relate the truth without fear. Much like the Men who served with Tim Walz speak of what they saw.... He is fortunate he was a Captain. Because we had a 2nd Lieutenant, who when his 2 years were up.. the First Sergeant in formation was wishing the departing officers good luck etc... and when he came to this one Lieutenant ... he said..    "Lt ____ if we ever catch you out in the field, we are gonna tie you to a tree and leave you there." "Sangster The Gangster" First Sgt. !! Much Respect! We had some good officers too. But some..... Man!!!! SMH.
