History of the Patch

	FL-423 Eglin Composite Squadron Eglin AFB Version 2

"On dark blue disk with dark blue border, an eagle on the wing, brown and white, clutching a Civil Air Patrol emblem. In the background, a United States flag. Lettering in gold. The dark blue disk represents the aerospace environment. The eagle represents American airpower and symbolizes the core values of integrity, service, and excellence. The US flag represents dedication to the principles of freedom and democracy. The CAP emblem, a dark blue disk with a white triangle and red three-bladed propeller, establishes the connection to Civil Air Patrol heritage. The circle and triangle represents CAP’s home-front service with the Office of Civil Defense in World War II. The three-bladed propeller represents the three missions of Civil Air Patrol: Emergency Services, Aerospace Education and the CAP Cadet Program."
