So was at a 7-11 little while ago. At least 20 US Army Airborne (had AA 82nd Airborne patch) in store buying stuff. Had black patches with white star and indian head on one side and what looked like an upside down arrowhead with insignia in the arrowhead on the other side. I Asked, "Hope you all are here to do the RIGHT thing." He answered. "That is to be seen."

Yes 82nd Airborne AA patches. I didn't get a good look at the arrowhead patch but could have been Army Special Forces.

Best patch there..."Latin here reads 'all your substructures [or bases] belong to us.'"

What you seen is probably one side was his current unit the other side is his deployment patch. The right side under the American flag is the deployment patch. The other side is his current unit.

"combat patch" ssi fwts ..... not uncommon for someone to have an all american patch on one side and 2id or group patch. Though they would prefer to be all American on both sleeves lol

highly doubt people there to do serious business are making a 7-11 run.

Are you saying there is actually a unit with an upside down Indian's head, rather than an stone point pointing down?

it looked like an arrowhead or a spear point pointing down with insignia sewed into the shape. I wish I got a better look.
