Army troops wear patches, often referred to as army patches or 'combat patches', to show who they are and what they've done. Those who have served as part of a unit show solidarity by donning army patches that signify their unit and the hardships they faced together. Some also wear patches to commemorate those who lost their lives in the line of duty.
You Earn It, You Keep It, You Wear It
Proud veterans and army personnel often refer to their army patch as a scar, and one that they bear with pride. They wear it for those who they deployed with and everything that they went through together. They made sacrifices to help preserve America's freedoms, and a patch is a popular way to memorialize their bravery and service.
How Army Patches Are Worn
Army patches are commonly applied to shirt sleeves, but are also worn on leather jackets, hats, and gear bags. High quality embroidered patches are the best option as they are rugged and wear well over time.
