The Big Red One is a nickname given to the US Army 1st Infantry Division. The insignia that they wear is essentially an olive green background with a red numeral 1. As a side note...not as cool as the patch I wear. "If you ain't Cav, you ain't SH**! LOL...just kidding Gary! Just to have a combat patch on the right shoulder is enough to make the silliest looking unit patch a mark of those who are truly above the rest! I'm glad that you and the rest of your unit made it back. Now....fall in and get back to those troop arrival ceremonies!
