Shoulder Patches

Did anyone save their 168th coat of arms? I didn't but vaguely remember something like the bottom picture above. It seems that it was made of metal and we pinned it on the shoulder of our dress uniforms. It has been a long, long time.

The top diagram was given to me by a friend of my son's. The bottom picture was sent to me by Charles Payne, whose father Curtis was in Battery A of the 168th AAA Bn.

From some history I have read, there were at least two 168th AAA Bn's. One was active during WWII and was later disbanded. Then there was ours started in the early 1950's and later disbanded.

If anyone does still have a 168th coat of arms pin please email me a photo.
