I served with 2 AD from 85-88 This is a very special patch because it was actually worn over your heart and not on your shoulder like every other army patch.Not sure why that was so but rumour was Patton ordered it because he said it would stop a bullet.
Exactly. but nifty_n_thrify, honorable as it may be, please do not withdraw if it is something you like. I can find another one if I do not get this one. Wearing it over my heart was one of the things I loved best about it! I was told that when Patton passed away, his wife wanted it over the heart in remembrance of her husband.
