History of the Patch

	TX-376 Waxahatchie Composite Squadron "Talons" Version 1

The squadron was activated in 1973 and was first called the Talon Composite Squadron and met in Midlothian, Texas. It was deactivated and then reactivated in 1988 when Major Smalley, myself  [???]  and several other seniors met in Waxahachie. In 1991 it was deactivated again because the supercolider was shut down. Another squadron,TX-443, was begun at the Midway airport and then moved to the Lancaster Airport and is known as the Jolly-Green Composite Squadron. Jane Smalley and I decided we wanted to reactivate the Talon Squadron in 2003 and the TX-376 was again activated and re-chartered as the Waxahachie Talon Composite Squadron.

We kept the Talon part from the original charter and instead of the Talon trainer aircraft onthe original patch, we went with the "talon" of the birds of prey - many of them in the Waxahachie area. The two flags represent our Texas and American loyalty. The Latin phrase "Neutiquam Erro" literally means "I Am Not Lost" but it was the closest we could get to "I Know The Way". This is a reference to the ground team training we do at our squadron.
