TITLE "Liberty Torch" Patch DESCRIPTION "Liberty Torch" Patch 442nd Regimental Combat Team patch. Silver arm/hand holding torch aloft. Blue, red, white. Overall: 21/4" W x 2 7/8" L CONTEXT "Thanks to the efforts of T/Sgt Mitch Miyamoto, the 442nd came up with its own handsome patch design. It showed a silver arm and hand holding a torch against a field of blue surrounded by a border of silver and red. It was a positive symbol of freedom and liberty and it was proudly worn by over 18,000 Japanese American soldiers." Go For Broke CREDIT Courtesy of National Japanese American Historical Society |
