Whether you're still serving in the army or you're a veteran, you're probably very proud of it. When you're in your uniform, no one has any doubt that you're doing your duty and serving our country. But when you're out of uniform, no one has a clue. If you want to proudly proclaim that you're a member of the army, you might want to put a patch from the US Army Patches category on your jacket or vest. There are many to choose from, some more decorative than others. If you want something very plain and simple, you can't go wrong with the US Army Patch, Embroidered Green Stamp Letters. This option is very basic, but it says a lot with just a little.
US ARMY. That's all this patch says. The large green letters stand out on the black background, and the green bars above and below help accent them a bit. The green perfectly matches the green coloring most often used in army uniforms, and the letters are done in a style similar to that used by the army, too.
Why does the army use green as its main color? Part of it is for camouflage, especially when fighting in fields or forests. The main symbol of the army, though, was its green beret. This hat was based on the WWII berets worn by British commandos. While different specialized units in the army wear different colored berets, the green one is the most well-known, possibly because of the 1966 patriotic song 'The Ballad of the Green berets'.
This simple patch measures 3.5 inches long by one inch high and can be sewn or ironed on to many different types of clothing. It's a great way of proudly supporting the army even when you're not in uniform.
