Doesn't matter which service. Can be an active unit or a historic one. Has to be an "official" patch and not a morale patch.
I've always liked this one. 2nd Armored Division  |

I did find a pretty cool Army site that describes a bunch of unit insignia for all of the services along with their symbolism and frequently their history.

Quote HistoryThe horse they never rode, the river they never crossed and the color of the stripe down their back. My favorite has always been a CSAR patch with an Elvis profile on it. It read "If he's out there, we'll find him". ETA: Fuck your rules.

Cool, I dig this thread!
As a kid, I would stand in front of the surplus store patch case and pick out all the cool ones. My son picked the 91st infantry division for his backpack when he was 4 or 5. He likes Christmas trees. |

While technically outside the perview of the thread, I have always found unit crests more interesting. Patches are combat ID mechanism (unless gay ass, "morale" patches or one of the 20 patches all over a flight suit)
