Military Insignia and PinsThe word "pins" is a catch-all used to describe military badges and insigni…
Each army unit has a distinctive pin that is worn on the dress uniform and in the past 10 years on the Beret. the pins you have were worn when the person who owned them was part of that unit. It seems you have already determined what units they actually are, but it would give you an idea of where in the army that person had been.
The 2 unit crests on the left would indicate the person was at Ft Bragg, NC. The lapel pin on the bottom center indicates that the person was enlisted and had a chemical MOS or job specialty, perhaps as a nuclear, biological & chemical specialist. The rest of the pins I don't know about.
