Marines--need some help
I'm trying to figure out a tattoo that i'm getting for my dad. he was with the 1st battalion/9th regiment "the Walking Dead", in vietnam. i'm trying to find out if there was an official 1/9 patch or not?
thanks!

i did find that patch, but i'm not sure if it was official, as i've seen a few others. also, i know the army has many different patches, but i usually don't see them on Marine uniforms, so i'm not sure if ANY are truly official.
