U.S. Army Recruiting Command
Worn from:
13 January 1967 - 5 October 1972.
The rectangular design of the insignia was approved in 1960.
The Liberty Bell, symbol of freedom, refers to the service's
function in preserving the liberty of the United States. The
six stars represent the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth,
and Sixth Continental United States Army areas. Another version
of this design, with the words "US Army" in the upper portion of
the patch and "Recruiting Service" at the base, was also worn.
