This is a Patch instead of a Flag.. can anyone tell me about this one? maybe some history on it

a little hint: it has allot to do with things in France today....

Enjoy

Yeaup, that about sums it up. We're the tip of the spear, and they're "the shaft behind us..."

Does this mean that Canada goes down on the USA?

Is this the 1st Special Service Force patch?

Pen, Yes that would be it!!!! how did you come across the Info on finding this??

The Idea for this pic was after talk about the show Band Of Brothers on another Tread.....

Good Job!!!
Hog

When it comes to finding out information on the internet, I can find anything 😉 Plus...I have A LOT of free time!
I actually found a website that wants that patch. They didn't have a picture of it just a description. Thought I would give it a shot.

That Patch is on a Book, a friend of mine Wrote it.. researched it, found the actual members who are still alive.. and wrote it from there Biographys and tales of events with the Unit through WWII Germany,France, and the rest of the countryside over there...when the book was released I ordered a few copy's Signed and sent one to JCrimmons,Montanajack,and I think Coach? not sure... it is a book like the Band of Brothers...
once you start reading it,you cannot put it down...it took my Buddy 4 yrs to complete it... the reason he went through the whole thing? his Uncle was Killed at Anjeo (sp) and he wanted to meet the men he served with.. the movie Devels Brigade doesn't hold a candle to this book it has 344 pages of Factual events that happened in these men's lives... and each one of them had a second chance.. signed up for what they knew was Suicide Mission... and some of them survived to tell about it!!!
another reason why I picked this Patch is because these events happening with France... and how they are treating the US on this issue with Iraq... if one was to read this Book they also would feel the way I do about France!!!!!!

another note: I am listed in Acknowledgments in the back of the book for being there for the Author while he did his work on it...
Here is a listing of comments from people who have read the book.. and also some more discription on it...
this book was or may still be #1 best seller on the Military book store online.... I know it was about 4 months ago...

BTW on that Patch... these Guys and also there Family Members Hold that Patch Exclusively!!!
To think this was the very first and beginning of the Special Forces we hear of today... broken up now into the Navy,Marines,Army and Air Force... but this was the Beginning!!!!

Hog

Your friend must be a very good writer. The ratings were the highest possible! I think I'll pick one up. Thanks!

Mag

Mag,

Hold off and lets see how many are interested in reading it.. and I'll see about getting a Box Pass put together... looking at maybe 5-6 guys/gals to join???

we'll see...

Hog

Hog

thats cool, let us know. I'm in if you do it.

Mag

I'm in, that looks like an incredible book!!
C

Thats two now... anyone else???
I'll toss this out for an Idea... I know once you start reading the book it is hard to put down... one guy's story about events leads you right into reading the next guys...
My Thoughts on heading this Up... 5-6 people, 5 or 6 premium Puts on Cigars to get this Rolling (I'll toss them in to start, Along with the Book) each person in the pass will take 2 Cigars and add 3 in the mean time we'll give the person 2 weeks to read the book and pass it along to the next guy in the pass...(If you want to do bigger numbers on Cigars we can work on that?) on some box pass's I have been on in the past we also had a Toss & Take in whatever bunch of Cigars kinda like Dog Rockets to non favored cigars that someone else in the group might like.. I don't want to add this to this go around because of the fact the person who recieves the book and box pass will have to keep the Cigars "Controled Climate" until they pass to the next... a massave amount of Cigars in the Pass could cause problems with Storage!!! We'll just do it with a Kiss... "Keep it Simple Stupid" Idea... Premo's only Premo's Meaning a Cigar that retails in your Local shop anywhere from $8.00 - $20.00 ISOM's are Exceptions (Unless they are machine rolled)I'll need you guy's/Gal's to email me with your Snailer addy's and real names...
Note: Preferably folks who have been participating in the forums need Apply... I and a few others on here have been Burned before with Sour Box Pass's in the Past from CB's Boards... Guy's/Gal's Shipping out or already at an APO address will have to wait until next time to join in!!! "Sorry Tar and Others" but the Cigars would Get Stale and probably not make it through Military Customs LoL... also Limited to first come first on the list...
After the first round of this we'll see if anyone wants to go another round... or someone else could head up there own.... I think it has been awhile since I've seen a box pass thread going... and seems this place needs one to bring some people a little closer to knowing who the hell there Arguing Politics with LMAO!!!!!!

I must say this... this will be my first Heading Up of a Pass... and I also want to Thank CL, Coach,JJ,JCrimmons,Rookie,Rob&Sue, Slim and the list goes on.. for allowing me to be in previous Pass's and learnin me the Ropes!!!! CL does a Fantastic Job of Heading them up!!! Damn Texan LoL

So Drop me an email... to reply... usahogathotmaildotcom

Laterzzzz
Hog

Anyone else want in on this????

I was hoping it would die away...reminds me of some Cub Scout our Boy Scout patch or something...but then again, I'm sorta buzzin'....

Whatever floats yer boat...I'm all for patches, AARRRGGGHHH ye mateys! But I'm over this one...

I was talking about the Book/Cigar Pass that Hog proposed.

My drunken bad...sheeesh Chris!
