United States
Army
Emblem
6 1/2" Round
The official
emblem for the U. S. Army bears a Roman cuirass (armor
representing strength and defense) resting below a vertical
unsheathed sword, called an esponton. The sword, musket and
other military implements represent the readiness of the Army to
defend. An early American flag faces the Army flag, emphasizing
their role in the establishment of the United States. The
helmet is known as a “Phrygian Cap”, or “Cap of Liberty.”
Even the colors of the emblem
represent the Army’s mission. Blue stands for loyalty and truth,
red for courage, white for deeds worth remembering, and black
for determination. The gold in the seal reflects the army’s core
values of achievement, dignity and honor.
