Describe the 3ID patch

The clear field of blue stands for the loyalty, steadfastness, and undying devotion of the American Soldier. The three clear-cut white stripes stand dually for the three operations up to the signing of the Armistice of 11 November 1918, of which the 3rd Division took part, and for the numerical designation of the Division.
