$325.00

I’m selling this uniform grouping because my 12 year old daughter, Allison has cancer. It’s a rare form of Leukemia that usually only affects elderly men. She’s been on some form of chemotherapy since she was diagnosed in 2021. We are fighting hard. Unfortunately, during Thanksgiving and Christmas she lost 10 pounds and became really weak. We are fighting this right now to see what the complications are.

The savings that I had have completely dried up. I’m doing the best I can to save my daughter’s life. Her medication, Sprycel is $15,000 a month and only comes from a specialty pharmacy. The co-pay is ridiculous. I’m selling my inheritance to help fund my daughter’s recovery. All of my sales go towards her medication, treatments, doctor visits, and overall wellbeing.

I’m a single parent. I have had full legal custody of Allison since she was 6 months old. Her mother abandoned her. She hasn’t seen her mother in 8 years, thus I have had to pick up all the slack and take care of a very sick child, work, and still run my family as I am my parents caregiver as well. God has given me the strength that I need and will never give us more than we can handle.

I know it’s hard after Christmas. If you can help Allison, then please do.

I hope that y’all have a safe and blessed New Year.

PS. Please know that just because I’m selling my collection to help pay for my daughter’s cancer treatments doesn’t mean that I’m desperate. There are some people who feel like it’s a good time to make a lowball offer to take advantage of a bad situation. I’m not there so please be respectful.

Thank you.

This is an extremely RARE WWII GEORGIA NATIONAL GUARD uniform. You won’t find another one on the digital marketplace at this time.

It’s an extremely nice tunic. The tunic is from 1933 but looks to have been issued a couple of times but the last soldier who owned it was a Sergeant and a Squad Leader he has 12 years of service hash marks and a year and a half overseas.

This is a really nice piece.

Note: this sale is ONLY FOR THE TUNIC. The belt isn’t included.

121st Infantry Regiment, Georgia Army National Guard

The 121st Infantry Regiment was formed from the 2nd Georgia Infantry Regiment in 1916 and assigned to the 31st Division. During World War One, the 121st was assigned to the 61st Infantry Brigade of the 31st Division. The units of the 31st Division, including the 121st Infantry, were broken up upon arrival at Brest and used to provide replacements for other units at the front lines in France. The regiment was demobilized on 14 January 1919 at Fort Gordon, Georgia.

The 121st Infantry was reconstituted in the National Guard in 1921 and allotted to Georgia, and concurrently relieved from the 31st Division and assigned to the 30th Division. It was reorganized on 27 April 1922 by the redesignation of the 1st Infantry, Georgia National Guard (organized 2 August–1919 November 1920 as 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry; battalion expanded and reorganized 31 May 1921 as the 1st Infantry, with headquarters concurrently organized and federally recognized at Macon) as the 122nd Infantry). It was redesignated the 121st Infantry on 9 June 1924. The regiment, or elements thereof, called up to perform the following state duties: entire regiment (already on active duty for training during the hurricane that struck its camp at Tybee Island) for hurricane relief in July 1925 in southeast Georgia; entire regiment for riot control during the textile workers’ strike in Griffin, Jackson, and Rome, Georgia, 16–24 September 1934. A regimental contingent was sent to Washington, D.C., to march in the inaugural parade of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on 4 March 1933. Conducted annual summer training at numerous locations to include: St. Simons Island and Tybee Island, Georgia, Camp McClellan, Alabama, Camp Jackson, South Carolina, and Camp Foster, Florida. Inducted into active federal service at Macon, 16 September 1940, and moved to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, where it arrived 23 September 1940. Relieved from the 30th Division on 22 November 1941 and assigned to the 8th Division.

The regiment was briefly organized as a motorized infantry regiment before reverting to traditional infantry organization prior to shipping overseas. The 121st Infantry subsequently saw combat with the 8th Infantry Division in the European Theater of Operations during 1944–45. The regiment returned from World War II at the Boston port of entry on 11 July 1945 and then moved to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, where it was inactivated on 20 October 1945. In September 1946, the 121st Infantry Regiment was assigned to the 48th Infantry Division, a national guard division headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. In 1955, this division became the 48th Armored Division and moved its headquarters to Macon, Georgia. As a result of this reorganization, the 121st Infantry Regiment ceased to exist as a tactical organization. Some elements of the 121st Infantry were transferred to the 162nd Tank Battalion in May 1956. As the army adopted the Pentomic structure in the late 1950s, infantry regiments were broken up and the component battalions reassigned to brigade headquarters while still retaining the number of their former regiment in their titles. Thus, while the 121st Infantry has not existed as a separate tactical organization since the mid-1950s, some Georgia National Guard battalions, such as 2nd Battalion, 121st Infantry Regiment are still affiliated with the regiment, but assigned to brigades such as the 48th Infantry Brigade for purposes of tactical organization.

Battalions of the former 121st Infantry were assigned to the 48th Armored Division from 1959 until 1968, the 30th Infantry Division from 1968 through 1973, and 48th Infantry Brigade from 30 November 1973 to present.
