If you've been in the military for years, you may have seen combat. There are a number of different patches for military members, but this one, the Combat Veteran US Army Patch, is specifically for those who have seem combat and been in battle. Found in the Military Patches section, this small rectangular patch is made to look similar to the pins that combat veterans are given to wear on their uniforms. If you've fought in a war or other combat situation, add this patch to your jacket to let everyone know what you've done for your country.
The colors on the combat veteran patch have special meanings, just like all colors on military honor pins. The main colors are red, yellow, and blue. The red stands for bravery or courage, while blue stands for justice and vigilance. Each of these colors gets one large square on the ribbon, with blue on the far left and red on the far right. Beside each, moving towards the middle, is a large yellow square. Yellow symbolizes honor and loyalty. Finally, the middle section of the patch features three thin red, white, and blue stripes, which represents the United States.
Instead of recreating the ribbon in the same size and shape as the U.S. military award, this patch features the ribbon on a black background with the words 'Combat Veteran' above and 'U.S. Army' below. The entire patch measures four by two inches. It can be sewn or ironed on to your clothing (although you should not iron patches on to leather as it can damage the material). Enjoy this colorful veteran patch!
