Excited that I got this today. It's from 1942 and is from the very first 591st Engineer unit from WWII. For those that don't know, our unit history goes back over 80 years. I can't believe people are amazed at my tenacity for historical preservation and love for this unit.

Okay "Third herd", I've finally made the time and connections to get the platoon patch mass produced. Please let me know...

Okay "Third herd", I've finally made the time and connections to get the platoon patch mass produced. Please let me know if you're interested and I'll let you know how much it'll cost. It's through a family member, so it won't be more than the cost of materials. Spread the word to all "the 3rd".
