The legends surrounding Pegasus are rooted in Ancient Greece, but lives today in the hearts and minds of poets, artists, and all who seek higher wisdom.

In 1941, the Pegasus (with rider) silhouette was adopted by the British Paratroops known as The Red Devils. During D-Day's airborne phase of the Normandy Invasion, the British 6th Airborne Division spectacularly held 'at all costs' a vital bridge over the Caen Canal. In memory of their tenacity, it has been known ever since as Pegasus Bridge.

Pegasus is also a constellation in the northern sky, and as such, continues to soar above us among the stars.
