Summary
[edit]Description65th BEB COA.jpg |
English: "Shield: Red and white are the colors for the Corps of Engineers. The four red points represent the battle honors awarded the unit for service during World War II; they also represent the teeth of a saw, an item of Engineer equipment, which is used with the bayonet to indicate the engineering-combat function of the Battalion. The three stripes at the top simulate the stripes in the Flag of the Territory of Hawaii, where the organization was activated. They also allude to the Meritorious Unit, Philippine Presidential and Korean Republic Presidential citations awarded the Battalion; the blue stripe symbolizes service in Korea." "Crest: Service in the Philippines, WWII and in the Korean War is referred to by the horns of the water buffalo, which is indigenous to those areas. The rice stalks allude to service in Vietnam, the three stalks referring to the three decorations: the Meritorious Unit Commendation, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm and the Vietnamese Civil Actions Medal awarded the Battalion. The blue water symbol alludes to the waters of the Pacific, the Battalion's home area." |
