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 wear this and 2nd MarDiv. We were attached to them in Afghanistan and they authorized us to wear it via memo.

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.

One of my 2 combat patches, the other being the "Electric Strawberry" (among other nicknames) of the 25Th ID. OIF III/IV, Mosul.

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.

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.
