Re: What's with that patch?

Ok, here's the next one:

The 82nd Infantry Division was formed August 25, 1917, at Camp Gordon, Georgia and fought in World War I. Since members of the Division came from all 48 states, the unit was given the nickname "All-Americans," hence its famed "AA" shoulder patch. With the outbreak of World War II, the 82nd was reactivated on March 25, 1942 at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana under the command of Major General Omar N. Bradley. On August 15, 1942, the 82nd Infantry Division became the 82nd Airborne Division, the first airborne division in the U.S. Army. On January 3, 1946, following the end of WW II, The 82nd Airborne made it's permanent home at Ft Bragg North Carolina.
