U.S. Military Patches: Part II

Have you ever wondered what the patches on military uniforms mean? Join Curator Jesse Smith for his next talk focused on U.S. Army patches and their locations on uniforms, this time from World War II. Jesse will share knowledge of insignia and patches, answering the questions, “What is this patch, and what does it mean?” Discover stories of interesting divisional patches and their backgrounds, including a few from the US Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Marine Corps.

Jesse will also share some tips for beginners on how to tell the age and origin of patches and insignia, and give some guidance on basic care of loose patches. This livestream is free, but registration is required.
