Description
The 101st Airborne Division, with the motto "Rendezvous with Destiny," is legendary for its contributions during World War II. Perhaps their most iconic moment came during the Ardennes Offensive at Bastogne, Belgium. Surrounded by German forces and enduring harsh winter conditions, the 101st, alongside elements of the 10th Armored Division, held the town against relentless enemy attacks. When the German commander demanded surrender, Acting 101st Commander General Anthony McAuliffe delivered the now-famous reply: "NUTS!"
This patch, depicting the fierce "Screaming Eagle" with its signature red tongue and yellow "AIRBORNE" title, pays tribute to the brave paratroopers who fought in these historic battles. Seen in films like Saving Private Ryan and the series Band of Brothers, the 101st Airborne continues to symbolize heroism and resilience.
Perfect for reenactors, collectors, or anyone completing their 101st Paratrooper impression!
