That is a tough question because for me my first thought is do you mean military patch, medal or badge that I have worn or just in general. For ones that I have worn would be even though the Air Force took away wearing patches on your uniform when they switched to ABU's would be my squadron patch when I was deployed the 777 Expeditionary Prime Beef Squadron it proves I was there and gives me pride that I was there and for the medal is my ISAF NATO medal because it kind of goes hand in hand with why I like the patch of the squadron I was in when I was deployed. Plus I think it looks pretty cool because on the medal itself is the NATO seal and has the ISAF acronym on it.

For overall military patch I would have to say any of the Rescue squadron's that has the green feet in it. I remember in basic we would go across a bridge to get to our appointments and would have a pair of green feet painted on each end of the bridge and we learned to respect what those green feet stood for and I still have respect for any para rescue individual. For medal I am split between the purple heart and the medal of honor. The purple heart symbolizes the very real sacrifice somebody has made. And of course the medal of honor because of the outstanding courage of the individuals that have received it and I haven't heard a single medal of honor recipient that is alive take credit for earning it but has said something along the lines that they were just doing their job or that they give credit to the people that they served with for earning the medal of honor.

Patch is the screaming eagle, medal is my first MSM. I got it as a SSG and there are a select few in the army that get an MSM as an E-6, badge was my gold recruiting badge. Ironically, you are deemed as a piece of shit by your leadership when you don't make mission, civilian parents deem you a piece of shit for doing your job, college and high school counsellors deem you a piece of shit. AND when you leave and go back to your primary MOS your next unit deems you a piece of shit because you weren't a drill. You are always wrong, you are always a damn liar and everybody is an expert on why recruiters screw new deps. It was the one thing that almost turned me against the army but I stayed with it and put it away when I left.

I received a hat from the Korean Army that is only issued to Korean Soldiers as an award for training Kutusa in 2009 while I was assigned as Assistant NCOIC to the S-3. I am more proud of that then any award I received when I left Korea, oh....I'm sorry I didn't get one from my Unit. I once wore my hat to Six Flags and Koreans that had served came up to me to ask how I got it. Little things matter a lot.

My favorite patch is the 173rd, because it was good unit where I had the privilege to lead paratroopers in combat, during this time I earned my two favorite medals. My favorite medal is the Bronze Star, it took a lot of hard work, suet and tears to earn it as a SSG, a close second is the Purple Heart for obvious reasons, both earned while deployed with the 173rd. But my recruiter badge sure holds a special place in my heart, I learned so much about the Army and myself during those extremely long hours.

Coin given to me at Fort Lewis for being the top female in the physical fitness challenge. Superior Cadet is the 2nd highest medal you can get in JROTC, and the Purple Heart Leadership award. The SAI or AI have to recommend this and the organization decides if the cadet deserves it and meets the requirements. I wanted to serve in the Army, I ended up becoming a wife of a soldier, a mother of a soldier and in all 6 kids I raised and still raise. We are a military family. I’m very proud. My son returned from deployment a month ago and my husband will be home from his year deployment in July. These are the most important medals and coin I have gotten for my time in Army JROTC. Still proud of myself.

The 2 that come to mind for me are tabs that my unit made up. They weren't authorized in garrison, but they were worth the questions overseas.

The first one is my EX-17 tab. We were allowed to wear it simply because the task force commander didn't want to punish our entire chinook unit.

The second wasn't allowed to be displayed so we hid it on the inside velcro. That was the combat jack tab. That one is better left unexplained on public forums.

From a strictly aesthetic point of view I've always considered the Silver Star as the most beautiful American Medal. The combat patch of the Airborne Brigade of the Cav is among the most unique. As for badges, the Master Parachutist Badge is a great combination of classic design and long tradition. Somehow all three showed up on the uniform hanging in the closet.

I have no favorite. After I retired they were all retired to a box on a shelf. They have absolutely no relevance or value outside the Military. Actually, they had little value while I was in and wearing them either. They are simply a basic resume that you wear to impress others with your accomplishments.

Not all grunts were able to be in celebrated units. BUT ALL, were able to take pride in the patches they wore. Joe Average doesn't know certain awards or patches require special training and not all can even apply for the training required. Add to this, the fact, an officer will be eligible for more medals and awards than enlisted. But we who received awards for having been in combat or those wounded in war, can take pride in knowing we have medals and awards others may never be permitted to wear. VN Vet 67-68.

So of the Patches, Medals and Badges I have, I would have to say the Badge I earned for an Assignment that I DID NOT WANT... My Gold Recruiter's Badge. I hated that Job, But I did my best and well It proved to me that Soldiers can Do Anything even that they dislike very very much.

I'm just going to come out and say it. Non of those medals or patches mean shit to me. Went through AIT to be a 68W. All the Platoon Sergeants who had been stationed in hospitals far from any combat had ribbons, medals, and patches galore. The Platoon Sergeants who had been to combat on the other hand had almost nothing on their uniforms. They cared about the men next to them not awards. That taught me all I needed to know about awards

Knowing flag regs and standards and not even liking napkins looking like flags because it will get dirty. I don't think that is something to wear on a uniform or something that will cause it to become soiled in any way. I don't like when movies are made and the flag gets dirty for the enactments. My favorite award was the one I got in Korea. The way it was written was true and let me know I did well. It was truly earned and that is my favorite award. Of course my scroll is favorite patch because it was also earned and reminded me what was expected each day I lookedd at it.

This story was related to me by a flight instructor during navigator flight training at Mather AFB in Sacramento, CA. We were flying T-37 "Thunder tweets" for VFR navigation training, and "Back in the day" we had Iranian officers training with us (Pre-Shaw gone days). The class ahead of mine had a class patch that included the Warner Brothers Tazmanian Devil (Tazz). During a night flight with the Iranian student, the instructor stated that everything was going just great and all of a sudden, the student started screaming in Farsi, acted panicked and suddenly, "ARMING HANDLES RAISE, TRIGGERS SQUEEZE" and the student departed the aircraft at 12,000' at night near Tulare, CA. The instructor returned to Mather sans canopy and student with an airplane that worked perfectly well, albeit a bit breezy. They found the student the next morning and he was walking with his parachute out in an onion field. The student told his story of the Devil trying to attack him, and the Air Force investigation resulted in that under very specific lighting conditions and at night, having a compound curved canopy and background instrument lighting would cause the shoulder patch on the arm closest to the center of the cockpit to appear almost as a hologram within the cockpit. Voila, how to eradicate Iranians from your life. Thus, Tazz became my favorite shoulder patch.

Fourth Armored Division patch. No need for a saying underneath it. We shall be known by our "Deeds Alone". I've seen quite a few guys proud of their Divisional patches here, one that wouldn't exist had it not been for George S. Patton and his men at a town called Bastogne. They would have also gone THROUGH Berlin and points East, had they been "allowed". During my time with them we only got to go TO the Czech border when they were invaded in '68. Oh, well. Was saddened when the guidon, and Division was retired....

I think some of the things written here are a sign of what people lose today. RESPECT. When WW II happened, there were men and women who fought but the percentage of them was small. There were many men and women who served but that number compared to those that were here was small. People in general during that time all played a role. Those that couldn't serve, old, young, all races, creeds, religions, etc. all had a stake in the effort of keeping our great nation safe. Every job in every service has it's good and bad, has it's moments, has it's challenges that people have to overcome no matter at war or not. I have many awards and medals from different services that I'm equally proud of but it's the people that I cherish and think about and regardless of MOS or at war or peace, helped me to become a better person, helped me in time of need, helped me become a better American. So a favorite, I would say like MSG Thibault, the American Flag, because I served and have known so many good American people that it makes me proud to be one.

As an Air Force guy I am most proud of my jump wings, they were hard to snag. Then we managed to fall out of planes with my jarhead buddies enough to get pinned with them too. So I'm going with the Naval Parachutist because they are rare on a blue suiter. Patch is from the 16 SOS "Spectre" and my last and best team,
the 819th Airborne RED HORSE.

Never had the opportunity to wear “Old Glory” on my uniform (Guess that’s a hint to my age). The badge/medal for me is my “Drill Sergeant Badge”. Contrary to popular belief, the Drill Sergeant (myself and those I worked with) took great pride in making soldiers out of civilians. Every TDP (Trainee Discharge Program) was looked on as a personal failure. I had two tours as a Drill Sergeant. I have, since my retirement, found several have become 1SGs/MSGs a couple CSMs/SGMs some Chief Warrant Officers, some Company Grade Officers and even a Lieutenant Colonel. It’s very rewarding to have influenced young men in a Combat Arms MOS so positively.

I always looked forward to having my new crow "tacked" and wearing the bruises with pride. However, getting my EAWS pin tacked on by the skipper was a highlight. I worked my ass off for that. I didn't attend classes to get a PQS signed off, I actually went to all of the departments. Having Skipper Jackson pin that on me (shortly after I got a NAM as well) was pretty awesome.

There are my individual awards and patches yet the Valorous Unit Award we earned stands taller than the rest of my others. Whether you're a member of a large conventional or a unconventional team, this award recognizes your synergistic affect against an armed enemy.
"The Valorous Unit Award may be awarded to units of the Armed Forces of the United States for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or, while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. It may only be awarded for actions that occurred on or after August 3, 1963. The degree of heroism required is comparable to that which would warrant award of the Silver Star to an individual. Only on rare occasions will a unit larger than a battalion qualify for this award.

My first unit patch; the old one tiny turd (193d Inf Bde).

Called The Lost Command stationed in the US Canal Zone, it was an outstanding unit-probably the best brigade I served in during my 22 year service to country. A strange mixed unit; 2 leg battalions (one w/an airborne company-my old unit the Moatengators), a mech battalion, an aviation battalion, a 105mm towed battalion and lots of support components (usually plus sized).

We lived in the woods. I think we spent more time in the filed than in any unit except maybe the 25th ID I served in.

As SSG I was standing with some NCO’s when some CSM walked up bitching and crying why none of us had any Taps, or school Badges which he had all of them! He was crying how can you lead troops in combat without schools.
