    The parachute pin with a wreath around the star is Master Parachute Badge, the other one without the wreath is Senior Parachute Badge:

    The shield shape patch is for the China Burma India Theater of WWII

    That other sun patch may be for China WWII? The white 4 leaf clover on a red diamond is a patch for the 4th United States Army.

    Nancy - when you upload your photos, click on "Full Size" and they will appear large and in the thread so they don't have to be opened individually.

    Jump wings are usually not silver, unless they're mega old. I see those all the time here in ROTC...
