Foreward by Leon J. LaPorte, General, U.S. Army (Retired)
“...Barry Jason Stein has put together a terrific book about the identification of and the history behind United States Army patches. He has done a terrific job in not only highlighting unit histories and missions, including our National Guard and Reserve units, but has also researched and documented what those units are doing today. This is a book about the Army of the United States of America, yesterday and today. Here you can learn about the men and women who wear those colorful patches – the great things they did and what they continue to do for our country. Learn a little about their heroic deeds, selfless actions and terrible sacrifices. When you read this book, you will understand why soldiers join storied units, how they become “we few, we happy few, we band of brothers” and why we honor their service.”
