IN HISTORY
Women in the U.S. Army
Throughout our history, women have made sacrifices for our Nation; our female Soldiers – these mothers, daughters, sisters and wives – have placed the needs of the Nation above their own.

SYMBOLS AND INSIGNIA
![symbols](images/symbols.jpg)
Soldiers wear a wide assortment of insignia, ribbons, medals,badges, tabs and patches. To the uninitiated, the variety can be bewildering. Yet, each device represents a Soldier's accomplishment-or that of his or her unit- and is a great source of pride and accomplishment. This page identifies these devices, as well as the flags, streamers, guidons, and three versions of the U.S. Army's song, The Army Goes Rolling Along.
