#5 One of them, Sgt. Larry Gormley of Livermore, Calif., said it would be difficult to remove the division's characteristic shoulder patch, marked with a red No. 1.

"I was here when the division came in 1996, and it has been a change of era. I've been in Bosnia, Turkey and I spent a year in Iraq," said Gormley, 37. "It's an important division in the Army, so it's going to be rough to take this patch off."

Hello Sarge. You know if you served in 'Iraq' with the unit, you can continue to wear the patch on your right shoulder. Left shoulder patch is your current assignment, but the right can be any unit you served with in a combat environment. Your choice of which ever unit you served with, but only one.

On a related and chuckle note, Army units attached to the Marine Division in Gulf War I, could wear the old Marine Division patch which Marines themselves no longer wear. One of those strange but true things.
