Unit citation
text:
A unit citation is a formal, honorary mention by high authority of a military unit's specific and outstanding performance, notably in battle. Similar mentions can also be made for individual soldiers. Alternatively or concurrently, the unit can be awarded an honorary title, a mention on the flag or a decoration. In France, since 1916, the fourragère is worn on the uniform by the members of a unit which had received several citations. This tradition has since spread to other countries.
