29th

Worn from:
15 May 1968 - Current.

Constituted 15 September 1953 in the Hawaii Army National Guard
as the 120th Signal Support Company; organized and federally
recognized in January 1954 at Honolulu. Converted and re-designated
in January 1959 as the Twenty-ninth Infantry Brigade. Inducted into
active federal service May 1968. The blue cross is suggested by
Hawaii's nickname, "crossroads of the Pacific," and the barbed ends
represent the protective mission of the brigade. The red and blue
conjoined bars in conjunction with the white appear on the Hawaiian
flag and also on the Hawaiian coat of arms. The bars, from the
Hawaiian flag, are wavy to suggest the state's "overseas"
location from the continental United States.
