U.S. Airborne and USMC insignia for review
Article about: Received these shoulder patches recently, so I decided to post them up for review. We have the 11th, 13th, and 17th Airborne Divisions and the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions...

The Guadalcanal patch with the snake is one I've never seen before. Do you have any more info on it? Patches are not my expertise but I like that one.
Thanks

Hi Burt!
The 2nd Marine Div. snake patch is an "unofficial" unit insignia that the 2nd adopted after Guadalcanal. Although very cool looking... I believe the snake patch never caught on because of how similar it looks to the 1st Marine Div. insignia... especially at a distance.

Love the 17th AB patch Joe.
My late grandfather was in the Grenadier Guards, "bounced the Rhine", (and a few other places), with them in WWII and always spoke highly of them.

Thanks for the comments, all! I plan on eventually adding the other USMC divisions and displaying them over a backing of USMC camo fabric...
