Stolen Valor |
The lightning symbol on the upper-arm patch eluded me. Everybody had an opinion. Some numbered division somewhere; maybe it meant signal corps?
Yesterday a well-built guy asked me if I was with "Tropic Lightning". Admitting to never having served in the military, I told him of the riddle of the patch.
"That's for 25st infantry division, Hawaii. Their motto is 'Tropic Lightning'".
I thanked him for his service. "Twenty seven years!" he responded.
