This and the 101st are the two combat patches I was authorized to wear, and while I preferred the 101st I was still immensely proud of my 1st ID patch. Occasionally I'd spice things up and switch over to it for a while.

I have four combat patches, and 1st ID was my first one (OIF II/2004-05) and I always cherish wearing it.

I have only seen two people wear this patch and both of them served in Vietnam veterans , this was back in the late 70's.

My unit fought with them in An Najaf and Fallujah. I wore this one on my OCPs and rotated between it and the 1st Cav badges on my ASUs.

My favorite patches for combat patches of which I can wear only one would have to be the 2nd Infantry Division, the other is for the 10th Mountain Division. I know that the most common is the 1st Cavalry patch, one which my father wore in Vietnam. I post this one in his memory. RIP Dad.

2nd mef
During my 1st deployment to Iraq I was lucky enough to have the honor of deploying alongside the USMC. My father retired from the Marine Corps, so in respect to his service(which pushed me to join), I wear the 2nd MEF patch with pride.
