This is kind of a story on how I got some of my patches and pins that I wear on my jacket and vest. I am gonna start with my firefighters patch I got this patch at a Vets for Vets rally a couple of years ago I bought this patch because my grandfather is retired from the fire department and my uncle is a current captain for the fire department and I wanted this patch just for that reason I also purchased a red cord that I have on my left shoulder along with my fire department patch. The next ones I am gonna talk about are on the right side of my jacket and they are all Military patches given to me by all my friends currently serving in the military.. First Patch my 10th Mountain patch given to me by my brother-in-law SGT James Wooters Patch 2 my 509th airborne patch given to me by my brother CPL Kristopher Norris I watched him jump out of a plane scared the crap out of me .Patch 3 Warrior Brigade (looks like the Pepsi logo) given to me by my friend CPL Sarah Clark who is now stationed in Germany I have not had that one sewn on yet ..Patch 4 is the 159th airborne stationed in Italy given to me by Cpl Aaron Parris Patch 5 a Skull given to me by my husband on my birthday he knows I love skulls Patch 6 Super Bitch well that one is self explanatory Patch 7 You cant disturb the disturbed Patch 8 Angel wing from TheCheapPlace.com in honor of my stepdaughter who passed away at 14 almost a year ago Patch 8 is a witch also from Thecheapplace.com I got this one because I am Wiccan and just cause she is cute that is all the patches I have for now but will be getting more soon
