"Follow Me!" – the legendary creed of the US Infantry! Up for sale is a genuine subdued shoulder patch (SSI) for the US Army Infantry School (Fort Benning) from the Vietnam War era. Featuring the iconic upward-pointing bayonet, this patch is the ultimate symbol of infantry leadership. This is a highly sought-after early combat variant featuring a flat "Cut Edge" border, reliably dating it to the transitional period of 1966-1968. The patch is in lightly used condition, likely removed from a period uniform, giving it an authentic, salty combat patina.

The patch that forged combat leaders.

  • Symbolism: The insignia belongs to the US Army Infantry School at Fort Benning. The bayonet represents the close-combat nature of the infantry, while the motto "FOLLOW ME" is the guiding principle of infantry leadership—leading from the front.

  • Subdued Design: In 1966, the Army introduced this low-visibility version (black embroidery on OD green) to replace full-color patches on combat uniforms.

  • Early Manufacturing (Cut Edge): Featuring a raw, un-merrowed cut edge and the classic white bobbin thread on the reverse. You can also see traces where it was originally sewn onto a jacket.

  • Condition: Lightly used. Shows honest field wear and a beautiful vintage fade, but no damage or heavy fraying.

  • Placement: Worn on the left shoulder by cadre and graduates of the school.

  • Unit: US Army Infantry School

Because the ink washed out and faded extremely quickly in the jungle, they were soon replaced.

The ultimate finishing touch for an authentic early-war jungle fatigue jacket.
