Maj. Gen. Charles D. Costanza, the commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division, gives a speech during a patching ceremony at Fort Stewart, Georgia, April 19, 2022. During the ceremony, Soldiers formally received the division patch, which represents the history of the Marne Division; the three white stripes are symbolic of the three major operations in which the division participated during World War I, the Battle of the Marne River, the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and the St. Mihiel Offensive, and the blue 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.
