I was given a large bag of patches from my mother recently. She said that she found them in the basement of my grandpas house and that's all the background information i have really.
The patches could be military, they could be scouts, i have no idea. Please, any identification help you can provide would be great. There are several different patches, this was the first 'grab' of different patches from the sack. Thank you all, Matthttps://www.dropbox.com/sc/q4ylijmakzpe33e/NTYExUMT_1 |

Many of those are Army Reserve Division patches, or other large Army units, with a few Army Air Corps patches thrown in. Also, an overseas combat service hash mark set, and a few rank patches.
If you post the pic up where it will display on the forum correctly, I can try to list the ones I recognize. |

5th row nr 2. "Golden Toilet Seat" Unit Citation, Korean War? Lots of those floating around in my day, but damned if I can remember for sure what they were. I seem to remember that they were worn on the sleeve above the cuff Meritorious Unit Commendation The patch was replaced by a red ribbon with gold border. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meritorious_Unit_Commendation |
