    WAY off topic but I thought I’d ask you military historians a question. I’m reading a book put out by the American Battle Monuments Commission in 1927 called “A Guide to the American Battle Fields in Europe” and in it, they provide examples of the various insignia representing the various units of the American Expeditionary Forces. I noticed that the insignia for V. Corps is the Chrysler emblem. (Or is it the floor plan for the yet to be contructed Pentagon?) Anyone know why?

    I mostly delve into Third Reich militaria but I did find this in one of my reference books:
    The design is based upon the authorized shoulder sleeve
    insignia of the organization. The first demi-fleur-de-lis is used to represent France where the unit was
    activated in 1918, during World War I, and the three stars are used to refer to the Lorraine, St Mihiel,
    and Meuse-Argonne campaigns in which the unit participated during that war. The second fleur-de-lis
    represents World War II and the five radial lines are used to denote the Central Europe, Ardennes-
    Alsace, Rhineland and the Northern France campaigns, the one with the arrowhead symbolizing the
    assault landing in Normandy.

    After I posted that info it dawned on me that Pasadena Phil said that he was reading a book from the 1920′s and so he was just looking at the shoulder patch and not the unit insignia which was not adopted until way after WWII. Patches often cannot be traced because they are often designed by unit personnel and approved by their CO. In my squadron, we designed patches every time we deployed and the aircrews would have them prepared by local tailor shops overseas in places like Japan, Phillipines, Korea etc.

    Yep, there are knuckleheads out there, yet the point remains, it isn’t Pres Obama doing this, it is some other person seeking to profit from his popularity.

    Do you have a problem with capitalism?

    Do you have a problem with a business making plates and coins to sell to other knuckleheads? Making money?
