T-Patchers are those who served with the 36th Infantry Division in WW2. Their shoulder insignia is a 'T' inside an arrowhead that was the original National Guard patch indicating men from Texas & Oklahoma served in it. By 1940 when the unit was federalized, they were mainly an all-Texas group.
My late Father was there when they were federalized. He later volunteered for the 1st Special Service Force, served there and went back to the 36th after the Forces was disbanded.
Therefore, I am a son of a T-Patcher and took this as my FR id. I was the original sonofatpatcher, but was away for a bit and came back to find I could not get my old password. (Computer crash & change of e-mails and servers, etc...) I resigned up as sonofatpatcher2.
I sometime use 
but I mostly use 
as my signature.
Here are some Links for the T-Patchers & 1SSF from google:

Wow what a historic username sonofatpatcher. Thanks much for the explanation and the links. I will read them tonight.
Your Dad must have been a helluva guy. I'm grateful there were men like him who built this great country that we all enjoy today.
Regards.
