The Badge of Honor for the "Volunteers of Freedom" Patriots (Italian: Distintivo d'onore per i patrioti "Volontari della Libertà") is an award established by the Kingdom of Italy to recognize those who participated in the armed struggle of the Italian resistance movement or Italian Co-belligerent Forces against Axis forces in Italy during World War II or who refused to collaborate with Axis forces after being taken prisoner by Nazi Germany.

[1][2] With the war still underway, the Kingdom of Italy created the Badge of Honor for the "Volunteers of Freedom" Patriots (Italian: Distintivo d'onore per i patrioti "Volontari della Libertà") with Lieutenant Legislative Decree Number 350 on 3 May 1945.

An appeal could be lodged against the negative decision of the military district to the Ministry of Defence within 90 days of the date of notification.

The badge consists of a 37-millimetre (1.5 in) wide magenta ribbon bordered vertically on both sides with the colors of the flag of Italy.

The letters "V L" — an abbreviation for Volontari della Libertà ("Volunteers of Freedom") — in golden metal are superimposed in the center of the ribbon.
