Texas

Worn from:
23 September 1955 - Current.

The colors, red, blue, and white refer to the flag of the
Republic of Texas. The star and wreath of live oak and olive
are from the authorized crest of the Texas National Guard. The
seal of Texas, a star of five points encircled by olive and
live oak branches, was adopted by the Republic of Texas in 1839.
Texas or "teysha" in the language of the Caddo, means "hello friend."
The lone star on the state flag, adopted in 1876, connotes the history
of Texas as an independent republic fighting alone against great odds for its freedom.
