Fort Lee, Virginia — We have Pride in the Patch! The Soldiers of Army Medicine proudly represent the patch no matter where they serve.
Lt. Col. Rodger I. Voltin — and his entire staff — have pride in the Army Medicine patch. Voltin is the Commander of Bull Dental Clinic, Fort Lee, Virginia.
“I take a tremendous amount of pride in being in the U.S. Army Dental Corps,” said Voltin, who came to the Army after 17 years in private practice.
“The Dental Corps immediately imbued me with a sense of purpose, camaraderie, and fulfillment,” Voltin said, “I became a better practitioner and experienced a renewed vigor in my vocation by incorporating the Army’s values into my professional and personal life. But, by far, the greatest quality and benefit the Dental Corps offers is the opportunity to join a truly elite team bound together by a common mission.”
Voltin is a former enlisted M1 Abrams tanker (19K) in the 1st Squadron, 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment.
He said, “I feel the same bonds of kinship now with my command and care provision teams as I felt then with my brothers-in-arms. Through our team efforts, we enable the nation’s warfighters to stand ready to answer the call of duty and when called upon prevail victoriously. I can think of no greater purpose or honor as a health care team member than to not just attend to the needs of our patients, but to those of our country.”
For Soldiers in Army Medicine, Pride in the Patch is demonstrated by mission-focused Soldiers and Civilians who are ready, trained, capable, developed, and competent leaders.
Pride in the Patch validates how Soldiers and Civilians are modernizing and shaping the future to remain relevant to the Army.
Pride in the Patch is shown by responsive Soldiers and Civilians supporting the Army worldwide.
The shoulder sleeve insignia that is the source of Army Medicine pride was originally approved for the U.S. Army Health Services Command in January 1973; the description and symbolism were amended in May 1975, and the patch was re-designated for the Army Medical Command in October 1994.
Army Medicine is the nation's premier expeditionary and globally integrated medical force ready to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
The Army medical force is ready, reformed, reorganized, responsive and relevant. Army Medicine provides expeditionary, tailored, medically ready and ready medical forces to support the Army mission to deploy, fight, and win decisively against any adversary — anytime and anywhere — in joint, multi-domain, and high-intensity conflicts.
Army Medicine is Army Strong!
