Sabrejet Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share #151 Posted November 26, 2012 Excellent additions Ricardo. Between the both of us I think we've illustrated virtually every type of overseas cap! Maybe the mods should consider pinning this thread as a source of reference for future readers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atb Posted November 28, 2012 Share #173 Posted November 28, 2012 "The ribbon is the only DI for this unit but I can't rermember the dang unit." 4th Infantry. A metal and enamel representation of the ribbon is now worn. From the US Army Institute of Heraldry website- Description A gold color rectangular metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm) in height and 1 inch (2.54cm) in width, consisting of a scarlet background on which is centered horizontally a green stripe 3/8 inch (.95cm) in width. Symbolism Subsequent to the Mexican War and until the blue uniform was abolished, the Band of the Fourth Infantry was authorized to wear a scarlet piping on the chevrons and trousers stripes in commemoration of the Regiment's distinguished service in the battle of Monterey in turning a captured battery of artillery against the enemy. The scarlet perpetuates this distinguished service of an element of the Regiment. Green is the predominating color of the coat of arms of the Regiment; it also symbolizes the service of the Fourth Infantry in the Mexican War. Background The metal and enamel distinctive unit insignia was originally approved on 21 Dec 1987. It was amended on 14 Sep 1989 to revise the description and clarify the symbolism.
