The Third United States Army initially was organized in November 1918
at Ligny-en-Barrois, France, under command of Major General J. T. Dickman,
for the purpose of advancing into Germany and occupying the bridgehead
at Coblenz during World War I. One of the army's finest moments came
in World War II when, under the command of General George Patton, the
Third Army raced one hundred fifty miles in nineteen hours to relieve
the beleaguered 101st Airborne Division during the Battle of the Bulge.
The disc's two borders allude to the designation of the unit, and the
