I was proud to see the Thunderbird insignia of the 45th Brigade on the sleeve of one
of the soldiers talking to Rummy.
Beats the previous insignia by a mile!
(the reverse/Native-American swastika...had to explain to a "Yankee" friend in
Stillwater that the "swastika" in the brickwork of an old house was NOT a
bit of skin-head Nazi artwork!)

Wait till Reuters and AP get a hold of this story... Hmm...OK, here, let me try:
"Elements of the 120th Engineer Battalion, 90th Troop Command, Oklahoma National Guard, who only joined that organization so they could avoid combat, were found AWOL in Ireland yesterday..."
Something like that?

The 45th once had the Indian (backwards) swastika as an insignia? I never knew that, I thought they had always been the Thunderbirds.

just an excuse for an extra bump...and explanation...
A good friend of mine in graduate school at OSU and his family rented a house
near the hospital (in Stillwater).
I suspect that some of these old rental houses might have pre-dated WWII.
Anyway, during a time when I helped the fellow do some renovation on the
home he rented, he mentioned the "swastika" in the brickwork of the
adjacent house.
Thanks to the load of trivia I've accumlated, I was able to calm him and explain
that he was looking at a reverse-"swastika" which had even graced the shoulder-patches
of the noble and decidedly ANTI-Nazi 45th Infantry Division.
I chuckled a bit at calming my friend from Indiana/Illinois...
he ended up being a decided partisan for Oklahoma!
