That is nice. What does the 2 inside the orange Diamond signify? Is that a unit?

Thanks for the quick response. I was trying to look it up online without any luck.

Little history for you.

This is Leonard Lomell's helmet at museum near Pointe Du Hoc. I believe the white bar denoted an officer or NCO so all the Joes would just have diamonds.
