When I think of all the lives lost under those patches.....not just the Big Red One, but all those that will follow, it saddens my heart to think that they are being cheapened the way they are....it's hard enough to see the old BDU's in places like Goodwill with the patches still on them....but to blatantly sell for profit something a sacred as the talismans that soldiers fight under, well....again, it really makes my heart hurt.
