Blazon:[edit]
- Description: A silver color metal and enamel insignia 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall consisting of a blue pentagon with silver outline and five radial lines one to each angle, the lower four separated by three five-pointed silver stars, with the vertical one extending beyond the edge of the pentagon and forming an arrowhead between two silver demi-fleurs-de-lis, issuing obliquely from the upper sides of the pentagon, all above a circumscribed silver scroll from the fleur-de-lis, bearing the inscription “IT WILL BE DONE” in blue letters.
Symbolism[edit]
- The design is based upon the authorized shoulder sleeve insignia of the organization.
- The first demi-fleur-de-lis is used to represent France where the unit was activated in 1918, during World War I, and the three stars are used to refer to the Lorraine, St Mihiel, and Meuse-Argonne campaigns in which the unit participated during that war.
- The second fleur-de-lis represents World War II and the five radial lines are used to denote the Central Europe, Ardennes-Alsace, Rhineland and the Northern France campaigns, the one with the arrowhead symbolizing the assault landing in Normandy.
Background[edit]
- The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 1969-05-29.
