The commission charged with eliminating commemoration of the Confederacy in the U.S. military recommended Monday that the Army ban the flying of Confederate campaign streamers on unit flags but allow the 29th Infantry Division to keep a blue-gray patch referencing the Civil War.
A post on a popular Facebook entertainment page July 28 shows two different versions of the iconic 1st Cavalry Division patch that âFirst Teamâ soldiers wear on their uniforms.
The photo, posted to the âU.S. Army W.T.F! momentsâ Facebook page, shows one patch with a curved top and the other with a flat top. An additional photo shows an email from an unnamed command sergeant major letting everyone know that the patch with the curved top is the only one authorized for wear on the uniform.
The post was accompanied by a statement saying, âShow me in one picture, where Ft. Hood fixed all of their problems. This is the new patch on the left. The CSM likes it curved, instead of flat. Are we really getting this petty 1st Cavalry Division?â
