About Shoulder Sleeve Insignia Patches

The military uses SSI arm patches to signify what command or unit a soldier is serving with - both overseas in combat deployments as well as back in garrison in their permanent duty station. These patches signify both currently attached units a soldier serve on the left sleeve as well as the prior unit attached to while serving in a combat zone for a specified period of time. Military Patches are a wonderful way to show your love and support for the service person in your life or to show your pride in your own branch of the service.
