"The frame has 15 "medics red crosses" on alternating "Infantry" blue and white panels.

Below that is the Paratrooper qualification wings to represent all troopers.

At the bottom is the head of the Statue of Liberty which is framed by the flags of the United States and France. This represents both countries as well as Liberty itself. Plus, France gave the U.S. the statue for it's Centennial in 1876.

The date of June 6, 1944 represents the D-Day date.

Running through the middle of the window is a blood red ribbon with a quote from John 15:13 out of the Bible. It says, "No greater love has a man than to lay down his life for another". The blood red ribbon represents the blood shed at the church."
