First, a minor correction. According to the dash, the color is RED. Faded red, but red.

Second, the avatar. The 70th Infantry Division started out of Camp Adair near Corvallis, Oregon in 1943. She fought with 7th Army in Europe, but was deactivated post WWII. It was reactivated, etc. and its colors were transferred to my Army Reserve higher headquarters in Seattle's historic Fort Lawton.

The mountain is Oregon's Mt. Hood. The axe blade and Douglas Fir symbolize Oregon's logging industry. The shoulder patch is unique in that it is the only one that incorporates an element in its shape--that of an axe blade.

Recently, because of base realignments, the colors were cased and transferred from my post to Fort Knox. I now wear the patch of the 90th ID's Tough Ombres, but my heart broke when the colors were moved.
