77th Infantry Division:
The Statue of Liberty Division.

The 77th Division was activated as a component of the Army
of the United States on March 25th, 1942, with Headquarters
at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. After two changes of station
and participation in the Louisiana maneuvers, the Division
embarked for Hawaii in March of 1944 and received additional
training in amphibious operations and jungle warfare. On
July 1st, 1944, elements of the Division left Hawaii and
were attached to the III Marine Amphibious Force for the
invasion of Guam.

The shoulder patch worn by the 77th Division is based on a
WW I design that was approved by the AEF on October 23rd,
1918. The figure of the Statue of Liberty was chosen for
the patch because the WW I Division was composed mostly of
personnel from the New York City area where the statue is located.
