History of the Patch 
NY-292
Broome-Tioga Composite Squadron
Version 1

The Emblem chosen for the Broome-Tioga Squadron reflects our Past and our Future. The colors and symbols tell our story...
The color Gold represents Honor.
The color Silver represents Purity.
Blue represents the sky in which we fly.
Green represents Peace or Harmony.
Black represents Conflict.
The story of our unit unfolds thus:
Our heritage begins with the Army Air Corps, represented by the Star and Red circle. Our Customs, Courtesies, Insignia of Grade, and our first uniform all come from the past. The Air Corps flew in Blue skies during major conflicts, represented by the three diagonal bars, or Ramparts. They divide a time of War from a time of Peace. They are bordered in Gold - we fought with Honor.
Notice the Squadron is identified within the conflict - we began during the War, and notice also that Peace begins during the conflict and continues. In this time of Peace, our mission is threefold, represented by the three Silver Stars; Emergency Services, Aerospace Education, and The CAdet Program. Our missions are Pure in nature, and benefit the community in which we live.
The scroll is Gray, from the Gray Skies prior to our founding, and it contains the Purity of our Motto:
"Audentes Fortuna Juvat" - translated as "Fortune Favors the Bold"
