US French Army Fourragere Lanyard

The US French Army Fourragere Lanyard is a distinguished military decoration representing gallantry and valor. Originally awarded by France, it honors American units for their exemplary service alongside French forces, particularly during World War I and World War II. The lanyard, typically worn on the shoulder of a military uniform, is composed of intricately braided cords in red and green colors, symbolizing the Croix de Guerre — France’s prestigious military medal. Wearing the Fourragere denotes participation in multiple battles and signifies the strength of the historical alliance between France and the United States. This elegant and storied adornment not only highlights the bravery and dedication of those who earned it but also preserves a rich legacy of cooperative military history and enduring camaraderie between the two nations. The Fourragere is a proud insignia reflecting both individual heroism and collective military achievement.
