My Lai Massacre, March 16, 1968 23rd Infantry Division, Recon Patch Banned Patch - Unauthorized - Banned Patch After the My Lai Massacre of 1968 units of the 23rd Infantry Division became known amongst their peers in Vietnam as the 'Americalley Division' (AMERI CALLEY) after the officer, Lt. William Calley who ordered the 16 March 1968 massacre of Vietnamese Civilians at My Lai north of Quang Tri. Recon Units of the 23rd Infantry Division began wearing this patch in the late part of 1968 / early part of 1969 after the name became widespread. It lasted only a short time before Recon Units of the 23rd (They had three recon companies) were ordered to cease the wearing of the patch. Superb piece linked to an event that eventually changed public opinion on the Vietnam War to such an extent that the US pulled support from the Vietnam war, led to the name, 'Baby Killers' and effectively changed the lives of all returning Vietnam War Veterans across the world.
