You need to ask a question for it to be answered. If you want to see what it looks like (as well as read up on it), there's a pretty comprehensive article about it on Wikipedia (see related link '27th Infantry Division (United States) on Wikipedia'). If you actually want to buy the patches, they shouldn't be difficult to obtain, seeing as it's still in existence. If you're in the state of New York, any military surplus store should carry them. If you're not, there's plenty of online retailers who can mail it to you. If you're in the NY National Guard, your unit should provide you with them.

The 25th ID went on to fight on Guadalcanal and Luzon, in the Philippines. The shoulder patch of the division is in the shape of a taro leaf, in red, with a yellow lightening bolt on it. Its nickname is "Tropic Lightning" or the "Pineapple Division", because some of its units were drawn from the old Hawaiian Division. The 25th ID also served in Korean and Vietnam.Sometimes civilians will refer to an infantry division the same way a soldier did his regiment, in which case they will say "the 27th Infantry" when the really mean the 27th Infantry Division. There is a 27th Infantry Division, and in peacetime it is the New York National Guard. The 27th ID served in France in WWI and elements of it served in the Pacific in WWII, on Saipan and Okinawa.

The divisions created for WWI all got nicknames, and the soldiers of the 27th chose "Orions" for theirs.
