gold sea lion from the seal of the President of the Philippines,
indicates the unit's service in World War II. The four stars
refer to participation in four wars. The castle with blue windows,
suggested by the coat of arms of Manila in the Philippines, indicates
campaigns in that area during three of the wars. The masoned

mission and motto. The gold outlined disk refers to California,
the units home area.
