40th Infantry Division in Korea
As I live in CA, another area of collecting interest is the 40th ID, our state NG division.
Since they trained in Japan for a while, many of the GIs assigned to this division helped brighten my day by having some incredible insignia made there.
While I am sure they exist for the 160th and 224th IRs (hint, hint) I have found these for the 223rd and the 40th Recon Co.
As always, comments welcome.

The 40th was one of two NG divs in Korea which had Ranger companies assigned to them (the other was the 45th out of Oklahoma).
The other patch is an unknown to me. Have checked numerous times w/ the three regiments, and no one has a clue whether as to Raider, or BP, or I & R.....
This is a another nice Japanese made insignia, as are all the others previously posted.

Nice collection for an underated kick ass Division from WW I, II, Korea, Watts riots, Desert Storm, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan.
No intent to get the thread era off track, but I have an affiliated lineage by proudly serving in the 40th I.D. at one time as a "Commo-Maggot" with the 240th SIG BN. San Pedro, Ca.
I got out of active duty for a few years and signed up as a 31M multi-channels communications operator (relays).
Here's my small discontinued collection of all the units I served in, in chronological order (mssing three patches). I think when I retire next year I will complete this neglegted collection (note busted up frame/glass).
