U.S. ARMY 6TH INFANTRY DIVISION PATCH (SSI)

The 6th Infantry Division Shoulder Sleeve Insignia might possibly the most bare of any insignia ever devised for wear by Soldiers in the United States Army: a solid red, six-sided star. There is another version of the 6th Infantry Division unit patch that features a blue “6” inside the star, but Army insignia specialist Barry Jason Stein notes that it was never produced in woven textile and in fact was manufactured solely for collectors, not Soldiers.

Nicknamed the “Sight Seein’ Sixth” and “Red Star” because of its eye-catching insignia, the 6th Infantry Division took part in two campaigns in World War I and two in World War II, earning a Philippine Presidential Unit Citation for its efforts in liberating that nation from Japanese occupiers in 1944 and 1945. Though activated briefly during the Vietnam War, the Division was not deployed and it was subsequently inactivated in 1968. Its final inactivation came in 1994.
