The U.S. Army is on the defensive after it admitted to licensing out use of the seal of the historic 1st Division to fashion retailer Sears for their "Fall 2008 Collection," Politico.com reported.
The Army revealed to lawmakers Monday it sold use of the division’s storied “Big Red One” insignia for a line of Sears sportswear. Its Web site said the Pentagon finalized the deal in June 2007 through a licensing program authorized in 2005.
