3rd Infantry Division
"Rock of the Marne"

Worn from:
24 October 1918 - Current.

The Third Division was organized at Camp Greene, North Carolina,
in 1917 and arrived in France in 1918.

It was in the Chateau-Thierry sector 31 May to 29 July and
stopped the German offensive of 15 - 18 July, the last of the
enemy offensives. Its conduct on that occasion earned it the
title "Marne Division." The three white stripes are symbolic of
the six campaigns (formerly referred to as the three major
operations) the Marne, St.-Mihiel, and the Meuse-Argonne in which
the division participated in World War I. The blue field symbolizes
the loyalty of those who placed their lives on the altar of
self-sacrifice in defense of the American ideals of liberty
and democracy.
