- Symbolism: The wing refers to the hospital's
origin in Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and the general area
of its relocation in Santa Monica and later Los Alamitos. Together
with the Greek cross, an emblem of medical assistance, the wings
connote mercy and speed in providing necessary treatment and
preparation of patients for evacuation. The allocation of the
hospital is indicated by the demi-sun from the crest of the California
Army National Guard. The rays signify renewed vital energy and
strength. Maroon and white are the colors of the Army Medical
Department
