Fort Bliss, Texas - 1969: Institute of Heraldry Revision Request
According to Kari Atkinson, Director of the 1st Armored Division & Fort Bliss Museum, this looks to be a copy of the Institute of Heraldry’s revision of the approved patch. “While it does not clarify exactly what the change was, it seems to request for a simple change for the cable numbers, i.e. the colors”. Dated Jun. 1969, this would have been requested just prior to the patch becoming one piece with the tab attached, but it does not mean it was necessarily approved. “It is possible that they may have begun making patches with the tab and triangle as one piece, even though the Army didn't approve it until 1970.” Clay Mattson, G3 Chief of Force Integration, 1AD, tracked down this original hard copy “so that I could have a little piece of our division’s history on my wall.” (Image courtesy of 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division)
