History of the Patch

	Florida Wing Cadet Programs novelty patch Version 1

In 2003, as part of the Florida Wing Cadet Programs Team (assigned as Cadet Programs Development Officer), we discussed the design of a shield for the program. Given the freedom to design a shield without too much guidance, as in the SER Seal case, I was able to create a design that I was proud of. The shield image is used on many Florid Wing Cadet Program elements today, such as documents, coins, shirts, and patches. As a patch, their is no official use for it. It is essentially a novelty.
