I recently found these great looking patches. US Army Amphibious Forces patch and a Engineer Command patch. Thanks for taking a peek.

Very nice set. These were the guys that went in BEFORE the 1st assault wave and blew up beach obstacles and cleared the lanes in invasions like at Normandy.

Mr. Jerry:
Both patches are on my fathers WW II uniform. He was in the 4th Engineers Special Brigade, 594th Engineer Boat & Shore Regiment. They landed at Wakayama, Japan in Sept. of "45. If you google the Engineers Special Brigades there's a complete description of what they did both in Europe and the Pacific.
