Its a toss for me. I deployed twice with 3rd ID and once with the 101st ABN DIV. I would say the Screaming Eagles has an edge for now since it was my first deployment

I recognize every patch here except the thread starters. Is that a guard or reserve patch?

The 26th Infantry Division was an infantry division of the United States Army. A major formation of the Massachusetts Army National Guard, it was based in Boston, Massachusetts for most of its history. Today, the division's heritage is carried on by the 26th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade.
Formed in 18 July 1917 and activated 22 August 1917 at Camp Edwards, MA, consisting of units from the New England area, the division's commander selected the nickname "Yankee Division" to highlight the division's geographic makeup. Sent to Europe in World War I as part of the American Expeditionary Force, the division saw extensive combat in France. Sent to Europe once again for World War II, the division again fought through France, advancing into Germany and liberating the Gusen concentration camp before the end of the war.
Following the end of World War II, the division remained as an active command in the National Guard, gradually expanding its command to contain units from other divisions which had been consolidated. However, the division was never called up to support any major contengencies or see major combat, and was eventually deactivated in 1993, reorganized as a brigade under the 29th Infantry Division.

When I was stationed at Bliss w/JTF-N, there were soldiers wearing 1st MarDiv combat patches. The Army eventually out the kibosh on soldiers wearing Marine Dividion patches, but the soldiers loved wearing them since so few rated.
They said it was their favorite patch for a myriad of reasons, but the best one I heard was "The Marines had the best round down range to PowerPoint slide ratio"
