Hey rebelreenactor, I know this is off topic but have you seen the movie Gettysburg, your quote made me think of it

Gettysburg, Of course i ve seen it, One of my favorites after Sving Private Ryan, Just wish that somebody out there will make a movie on the Civil War as good as SPR.
We start June 6th.

M1, the badge looks great!

As for the patch, well what about something with the D-day Stripes? I know it was for planes, but it is the first thing i think of when you say identification for D-day. Either that, or a landing craft, or one of those funny shermans...

just my $0.02

some tanks wore stripes as well for air to ground identification: chances are if it was in the air, it was allied!! if it was a tank trying to move, it could have been either...
hope this helps,

I agree with wrbridge 100%

Looks great. Only suggestion I can make is that I think the brighter red you used on the first version was more dramatic. It's a minor point, the badge looks good either way.
