Describe the 3ID patch. |
The 3ID patch consists of 3 diagonal white stripes running from the top right to the bottom left, measuring 5/16" and spaced 5/16" superimposed on a blue field square measuring 2 1/4". The blue stands for the loyalty, steadfastness, and undying devotion to the principles of right and justice by the American Soldier. The white stripes stand for the numerical designation of the division, and the 3 operations (Marne, St. Mihiel, and Meuse-Argonne) leading up to the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918. The equal stripes were modeled after the equal stripes on our nation's flag. |
