WWII US 3rd Army Sleeve Patch

c 1941-1945
US Army Cloth Shoulder Patch for the Third Army. Worn December 20, 1918 to present.

The Third Army’s greatest feat in World War II may have been when, during the Battle of the Bulge, it fought its way through to the besieged 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne. The small Belgium village was an important crossroads in the Ardennes Forest region and the Germans wanted it under their control. The 101st Airborne, together with a few other supporting units, were surrounded there and completely cut off from reinforcements.
