We occasionally see 29th Division soldiers around town here in my neck of Florida because it is a Guard unit. One time a soldier tore his blue & gray patch off his shoulder and gave it to my kid. That was pretty cool and made his day.

Fwiw, when I was assigned to HHC, 29th IN DIV (L), I routinely carried 29er patches in my uniform pockets, as numerous kids wanted one.
