The oval design features a red lightning bolt symbolizing power and speed, set against a blue background representing Europe, with golden links signifying the unity of Allied forces.
Worn on the right shoulder by American troops stationed in Europe between 1942 and 1945, this patch is an iconic symbol of the U.S. Army’s efforts in the liberation of Europe.
