New York

Worn from:
26 January 1994 - Current.

New York State is represented by the crown, recalling the
crown on the Statue of Liberty, symbol of the city and state,
which emphasizes the traditional freedoms long associated with
New York. The sword represents the National Guard and denotes
readiness. Blue refers to the many waterways and natural water
resources of New York and is taken from the state flag.
Red reflects courage; gold if for excellence.
