This came from a marine uniform, circa 1960's from the Vietnam service ribbon date. Any help in identifying?
I have delete my huge pic since tomwiii was so kind as to shrink it.

I dunno, but those types of epaulette pins weren't usually worn by marines, I don't think. Army units often adopt them with a motto and shield, but as unit insignia they're kind of unofficial. Decorative.

the reason i think it is marine is because i found the other ribbons on the uniform on a web site that shows medals and ribbons from all the armed forces and there is a ribbon from Vietnam service with a silver bar with 60 on it. there is also vietnam service award ribbon and national defense service award...on the sleeve is a strip badge that says "old ironsides"
I hate to list the pics because, even though I have resized them before uploading, they are huge on here.

Sorry guys, that is an US Army Unit, not a US Marine Corps Unit.
Click here: US Army 2d Battalion, 3d Field Artillery
I believe that is the Unit Crest of that Army Unit, their main base is on GIESSEN, Germany.
