Ah, I see. Is that where the old show "The Rat Patrol" got its name?


Well not exactly. The Rat Patrol was based on the Long Range Desert Group which was it's own entity. But they did serve in 8th Army along with the Desert Rats.

That's Daniel Daly. He played a pivotal role in the Battle of Belleau Wood. He's the one who said "Do you want to live forever".

Well, the group was in the 58th BW - so you get partial points. Will keep it up for a bit before revealing.


Since no one got mine, it is the unit patch for the 509th Composite Squadron of the 58th BW. The unit that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan.

That's Chesty frickin Puller.

5 Navy Crosses. All for exceptional leadership in combat, not necessarily individual bravery.

He was also pivotal in beating off the mongol hoards in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900.

What unit is this?

Who commanded this unit in WWI?

Who designed this patch and what does it mean?
