101st Airborne Division Unit Crest (Rendezvous With Destiny) D3586

101st Airborne Division Unit Crest (Rendezvous With Destiny) D3586. The 101st Airborne Division Unit Crest – “Rendezvous With Destiny” – D3586 features the distinctive Screaming Eagle design associated with the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division. The tagline "Rendezvous With Destiny," which was first used by Division Commander Major General William Lee in a General Order he issued a few days after the unit was designated as "Airborne," is featured on the 101st Airborne Division unit crest, technically known as a Distinctive Unit Insignia. The order stated, "The 101st Airborne Division...has no history, but it has a rendezvous with destiny." The directive also stated that the bald eagle on the unit's symbol, which was modeled after a Wisconsin Civil War regiment's mascot, represented the Division's strategy of "crushing its enemies by falling upon them like a thunderbolt from the skies."
