It represents the 7th Field Artillery Regiment. The 1-7 means 1st Battalion, 7th Field Artillery. The M109A1 was a 155mm SP Howitzer, the current version is the M109A6. I am a retired Redleg, rank LTC and I noticed the crest immediately. I am affliated with the 11th Artillery Regiment. 1-11 FA, 9th Infantry Division (Motorized) Fory Lewis, Washington. The 9th ID has been inactivated.

It is so good to see that K-State displays the patch for the 1-7 FA Division, and thanks to all Troops for their sacrifice to keeping our country SAFE and FREE. GO CATS, lets go all the way now. You are an awesome group of players, and that was one hell of a game last night against Xavier, way to play your hearts out.

What a great honor to have the K-State Basketball team wear the 1/7th FA unit crest on their jerseys. I served with the A Battery 1st Battalion 7th Field Artillery in Fort Riley, KS from 1977 – 1982 at that time we were know as the Alpha Rebels (for good reason). At that time our main weapon was M109A1 self propelled 177mm Howitzer. Funny how things change .. on weekends when we partied in Aggieville the students didn’t really like us GI’s chasing “their” women and drinking “their” beer. But all in all it was a pretty good relationship as my unit was always invited to band day during football season to fire our small 105mm towed cannons (blank rounds ..of course) Good luck to the 2010 Basketball team in the NCAA tourney!!!!!
