It's Army

Yup! and the 1st Cav "First Team" is a separate Division, from the 2d Armored Division "Hell On Wheels".

Why do you think the two divisions are combined on one shirt? Is there a relationship or is it coincidental?

Can you help identify the age of when it was worn? Somebody told me the buttons were a good indicator.

And the words "Sam" and "GTO", do those mean anything other than the persons name and his ??? favorite car ???

It is a green Fatgue shirt from the 50's to late 60's.  The sleeves have no cuffs and buttons, which came out in the 70's.  The person was probably in the 1st Cav, but liked the motto of the 2d Armored Div.  There is no name tape or US ARMY tape sewn above the chest pockets, and to have the his first name and GTO embroidered on the shirt, means it wasn't worn on active duty.

Thankyou Mr Miller for you insight.

Now if I can only find a buyer...

 

Iron the shirt and sell it on the Rodder or 4x4 sights, I'm sure a former Cav or Armor guy will want it!

Mr Miller

I found it in a pile of clothing at a flea market and felt it had to be rescued before it was stepped on, discarded.

where would I find the two websites you mentioned? I think it would look cool in a musuem, like the guys sitting around off duty at a local club, with their custom made shirts.
