    Description

    HERE WE HAVE A LOT OF ORIGINAL WW2 AIRBORNE PATCHES WHICH CAME FROM THE ESTATE OF A VETERAN. HIS WIDOW SAID HE WAS IN FRANCE FOR THE D-DAY LANDING. SHE DIDNT HAVE MUCH MORE INFORMATION  ON HIS SERVICE AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT ALL THE MILITARY BADGES AND PATCHES SIGNIFY SO I TOOK LOTS OF CLOSE UP PHOTOS. I JUST KNOW THAT THE 501ST WAS ASSIGNED TO THE 101ST AIRBORNE DIVISION FOR D-DAY. I THINK THE TWO RIBBONS WITH OAK LEAVES ARE PRESIDENTIAL CITATION UNIT AWARDS, AND THE OAK LEAVES SIGNIFY SOMETHING ELSE HEORIC THAT HE DID. THE WIDOW SAID HE RIPPED THE PATCHES OFF HIS OLD UNIFORMS BEFORE THROWING THEM AWAY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU SEE SOMETHING I AM MISSING AS ITS ALL VERY INTERESTING TO ME.
