    Fort Bliss, Texas - 1970: Present-day 1st Armored Division Patch
    Although the “Old Ironsides” nickname had been in use since 1941, the tab was only authorized on Feb. 21, 1956 as a separate item. It was officially attached to the triangular portion on Nov. 5, 1970 to become the one-piece insignia we see today. (Image courtesy of the 1st Armored Division & Fort Bliss Museum)
