Need patch for 625th field artillery

Comments: Thank you all for your service to our contry. I am very grateful to all those who have answered the calling for the noble purpose of defending this great country.Mere words cannot fully express my respect and gratitude to all of you who made our way of life possible.

If someone can be so kind. I am looking for the patch that was created for the 625th field artillery. I have the 40th Infantry patch but I need the artillery patch to complete the set. I have looked at many other sites and have had no success. If anyone knows a specific site where one can be obtained I would be eternally in your debt.

I loved my Dad very much and wish to honor him in my own way. I purchased a Garand and my Son purchased an M1 carbine. These were weapons that my Dad carried at various times during his deployment in Korea. Along with my rifle I would love to pass those patches on to my Son in rememberance of my own personal hero so future generations of our family will always know of my Dad's service to our country.

Thank you all again for your service and consideration.

Kindest regards,

William Gil

Comments: Am looking for comrades who were in my company when we went from the Philippines to Korea in 1945. I might have been in "F" Co. prior to Hq. but malaria wiped out much of my memory. I was hoping to use this forum to contact them. Fire in Div. Hq. in the Philippines and in St. Louis wiped out most of my records. This is my last recourse. Thank you, Mitch
