Command Sgt. Maj. Jamie Lopez, the senior enlisted advisor of the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, discusses the history and symbolism behind the 3rd ID patch during a patching ceremony at Fort Stewart, Georgia, April 19, 2022. During the ceremony, Soldiers received the division patch, which represents the history of the Marne Division; the three white stripes are symbolic of the three major operations in which the division participated during World War I, the Battle of the Marne River, the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and the St. Mihiel Offensive, and the blue symbolizes the loyalty of those who placed their lives on the altar of self-sacrifice in defense of the American ideals of liberty and democracy.
