You're an old guy. Thanks for your service. In many respects I don't think you'd recognize the force today. In many you would.

I really like looking into and understanding unit lineage, and the heraldry behind unit patches and crests. Our link to the past, and reminders that we represent more than ourselves. In most of the units I've been in we represent some pretty bad ass dudes and have a lot to uphold and live up to.

And editorial correction: That is a USASOC patch, the red background with the dagger on an arrow head. SOCOM is a Gold Spearhead on a black oval background.
