Apparently before the Nazis ruined the swastika as a symbol for the forseeable future, the US 45th Infantry Division wore an insignia consisting of a yellow swastika on a red background.
The division’s original shoulder sleeve insignia, approved in August 1924, featured a swastika, a common Native American symbol, as a tribute to the Southwestern United States region which had a large population of Native Americans. However, with the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, with its infamous swastika symbol, the 45th Division stopped using the insignia. Following a long process of submissions for new designs, a new shoulder sleeve insignia, designed by a Carnegie, Oklahoma native named Woody Big Bow, featuring the Thunderbird, another Native American symbol, was approved in 1939.
It looks like a backward Swastica. I understand the same symbol is used in historically Hindu and Indian (Indians from India, not indigenous Americans).

I believe there were a total of 4-5 American military patches that had swastikas on them. Some as far back as the 1st world war. Rightfully they were removed before entering WW 2

I already knew this because they were based out of Oklahooma, where I grew up. I’ve been to their museum, where they have a display about this. The museum is on NE 36th & Lincoln if you’re ever in OKC. They have lots of cool vehicles on display there.
