whoa! awesome stuff!
Hah! I bought a Dinosaur Land, VA patch when I went there
That's a nice battle vests i see
Sick vests, great taste. Love the civil war patches too. My family had a battle fought on their farm in Spotsylvania around 1864. “Bloody Angle” I’ve been there, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. Neat stuff lol. I hope to see Chattanooga sometime this year.
Chattanooga is very cool, enjoy it if you go. That's super interesting your family had a battle in their backyard. The Bloody Angle is hauntedly beautiful.
I want a jacket like this, but I'm in trouble because it's not sold anywhere😭
That's the one barrier with battle vests, you either have to go to shows or stores. Dont have either? Online it is... But there are a few good sellers online, I'm sure you can find something!
I love the 🦕 patch.
Thank you! Gotta throw in some cute stuff here and there :)
@@metalogen can totally relate , there's a t rex fossil on mine, and I've got my eye on a neon boombox patch
I found a hilarious patch of a record player that said Devil's Music on it
You being a linguist, two things:
A) "Rex Montis" Is Latin for "King of the Hill"; the motto of the 136th Infantry Regiment. Along with their sister regiment, the 135th, they're a Minnesota-based unit of the National Guard. The 135th descends from the old 1st Minnesota of Gettysburg / Nicodemus Hill fame; the 136th, from the 2nd Minnesota. IMO, the 135th has the better history, but the 136th the better motto. "King of the Hill" is pretty damned metal, after all.
And 2) It's (very) roughly pronounced "Bow-Ruh-God", not "Boy-Ray-Guard".
That said, glad to see you back making content.
Thank you for the corrections. I couldn't exactly remember which Minnesota regiment it was, even talked to my great uncle who was in it XD. He explained what Rex Montis meant also.
Better late than never with pronunciation of general's name. Learned the hard way that Ewell was pronounced "you-el" not "e-well."
@@metalogen That's the problem with English as a language, ain't it? The pronunciation rules are made up, and the spelling rules don't matter. A bastardized Romance language masquerading as a Germanic tongue.
Now, it being your great-Uncle who was in the 136th explains the cloth patches (North Star) on the vest. That's the patch/insignia of the Minnesota National Guard as a whole. Every state has their own patch: Louisiana's is a hexagon with a Pelican; Alabama's, a disc with a cotton boll; Minnesota's, a shield with the North Star; and North Dakota's, a shield with a bow and a quiver of arrows. Wanna say Pennsylvania's is a Keystone.
Those are some of the better state insignias; they ain't all winners. Connecticut's state patch is a triangle (kinda cool) with grapes on it.(kinda lame).
