I started saving them myself, I'd cut them from hats or clothes that were being thrown out and now and then, if we stayed in one place long enough to make a friend, a friend would give me one. I had quite the collection of patches in a few short years until one day daddy spotted them, took them away and burnt them in a pile doused with gasoline in the driveway. I was 12 almost 13 yo. I expressed no emotion, to do so was weak in daddys eyes, but inside I raged. I stopped giving a fuck about patches that day and daddy stopped buying them for me after that also.

I defer to dr. skalie's expert opinion on this one. parents do some fucked up stuff, particularly parents who are fucked in the head to begin with.

I think Hell on Wheels, Ironsides and Spearhead are armor patches. The AA to the left is 82nd Airborne, the eagle head is 101st Airborne. The two service ribbons on the left (with a blue/white cardboard backing) are for Vietnam service. The green patch with the red one under the Spearhead patch is 1st Infantry Division. The patches with the horse head and diagonal stripe are 1st Cavalry, which is an armor division, but used to be (or have) an airmobile helicopter unit.
