Sham Shield E4 Shamurai Morale Patch

E Pluribus Shhhh. The eagle has spoken.

This 2x3 inch morale patch is a gold-and-green tribute to one of the most celebrated traditions in the United States Army: the Sham Shield. Every soldier knows that the E4 Specialist rank insignia — nicknamed the "Sham Shield" — is the mark of an operator who has transcended mere duty and achieved full Shamurai enlightenment. Police call? Didn't see it. Extra detail? Already gone. This patch immortalizes that sacred wisdom in original parody Great Seal art, complete with a katana-wielding bald eagle and the eternal motto: E Pluribus Shhhh.

Whether you wear it on your plate carrier, your range bag, or your patrol cap, this patch announces to all who behold it that you have earned your sacred shield — and you are not moving from this spot.

• Size: 2x3 inches
• Backing: Hook-and-loop (loop side) — attaches to plate carriers, range bags, Condor and Tru-Spec caps, jackets, and more
• Print: Dye-sublimation printed — fade-resistant, washable, won't crack or peel
• Construction: Low-profile fabric; sharper detail than embroidered patches
• Origin: 100% original artwork, designed and printed in the USA by a small family business in High Point, NC

This makes a legendary gift for any current or former Army E4 Specialist, or really any enlisted soldier who has served alongside one. Perfect for going-away ceremonies, promotion gifts (sincere or ironic), deployment care packages, or as a reward for successfully avoiding a formation.
