Ironhand,
you do know that the symbol you chose is the patch for the US Army 46th Infantry Division, Michigan National Guard unit, nicknamed, "The Iron Fist"

I didn't realize it was a national guard unit, but it was a WW II ghost unit.

That's interesting.

As a 'ghost unit' it had a different patch. Cool all the same. It has that 'survivors unite' look about it.

I just found that. that's interesting as I have several army patch books that show it as only a WW II ghost unit and nothing about it being currently used by Michigan's National Guard. I will have to do some more research : )

I liked the literal pictorial translation of my nick and have used it for years. it's easier than explaining "ironhand" or "ironhand mission" that I take the name from.

thanks

check this site out and scroll down to the 46th Div

It also has a blurb about the 'ghost' div patch
