The logo which represents the Honor Guard was adopted in July,
2002 and was designed by Commander Steele and Firefighter, Aaron
Blandford.
The logo displays the American Flag waving freely above an eagle
with outstretched wings, facing front and his breast shielded
with a mourning draped Maltese Cross. In his talon's, the eagle
holds crossed axes.
The American Flag and Eagle are our National symbols. They represent
courage, strength and freedom. The Maltese Cross is the badge
of a firefighter. It is a symbol of protection and a badge of
honor. The mourning band signifies that a firefighter has made
the ultimate sacrifice and has layed down his life for his fellow
man. The crossed axes represent the ceremonial chrome axes that
are carried by the two guards of the Unit's Color Guard. |
