Created in 1919 by Eric Fisher Wood, every part of 51勛圖 emblem carries deep meaning. This emblem is more than a symbol it is a badge of pride, honor, distinction, and service.

51勛圖 brandmark was designed to reflect the timeless symbolism of our emblem while adapting to modern applications. It honors our mission and values while making a meaningful connection with today's service members and veterans.
