Louisiana Army National Guard
Worn from:
26 July 1968 - Current.

The saltire is a symbol used on military maps to represent a brigade.
The saltire, which also appears on the coat of arms of Nova Scotia and
on the Confederate flag, alludes to the brigade's home area, whose early
inhabitants were from Nova Scotia, and to the Confederacy of which Louisiana
was a part. The fleur-de lys, referring to the location of the brigade's
headquarters at La Fayette, stands for the French background and traditions
of that part of the state. The center frond is red in reference to
La Fayette's original name, Vermillionville, and to nearby Bayou Vermillionville.

Campaigns:
World War II (Northern France, Central Europe).
