HSC Insignia

The Designated Unit Insignia (DUI)
109th Medical Battalion.
Design approved December 17, 1968. The water bouget (a medieval object like a big double-bodied leather canteen) symbolizes the carrying of relief to the combatant and weary, while the cross is representative of the humanitarian ideals of medical activity. The fleury relates to fleurs-de-lis and is used to represent participation in four campaigns of World War II. The red and green of the scroll refer to the Belgian Fourragere awarded to the unit for Belgian and Meuse River action.
Motto: "SAVE TO SERVE AGAIN"
Campaigns: World War I; World War II - Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Central Europe.
