I am going over through my grandfather's footlocker this morning and found his service coat. He rarely talked about his experiences so I am trying to figure it out. I knew he was in an airborne divison that was it. From his shoulder patch, I found out he was in the 13th Airborne Divison and a tech sergeant I believe (3 stripes with a T underneath) and also has a signal corp pin on his collar so I am figuring he was in the 513th Signal Corp. What I am trying to figure out is two things. One he has a gold outline around his airborne wings. I did some research but could not find anything about it. Also above his right breast pocket there is a diamond ( <> ) and within it there is a golden eagle outlined by a circle with the right wing going underneath the circle and the left wing over the circle. The eagle's head is looking towards the right. Any help or websites would be greatly appreciated.
