What Symbols heraldry USA military?

Answer 1

There are four seals for the military branches (5 if you include coast guard under treasury secretary instead of sec. defense) which are also flags . Arguably these would be military crests and there are various sizes of flags used within military organizations at various levels down to and including the unit patch and unit crests which in pre-1981 era in say the Army would have been worn on leadership tabs with the dress or class A uniform as well as the shoulder patch . Various campaigns or conflicts have flags as well which usually see the light of day in parades on Memorial Day and other military honorarium dates . The most famous of which is arguably the Stars and bars from the civil war era awarded by President Andrew Johnson to the veterans of the C.S.A. military . This is a rectangular version of the "St. Andrews Cross" with thirteen stars inside the bars and a gold border as issued . It has a red field with the stars in white and the bars navy blue . It is rather ironic that not one but three minorities wore the Grey uniform carried arms followed orders were paid by and fought for the Confederacy during the war and so Tejano's (or Mexican Americans) ,Native Americans ,and Negro's were issued that flag by President Johnson and yet it is a symbol today most associate with white supremacists . Here is a case of serious misuse of Heraldry .
