Symbolism

The shield is silver (white) with a blue bend, representing Infantry colors. The three heraldic flowers on the bend symbolize: the rose, emblematic of New York where the regimental headquarters was initially organized; the hispida, representing the Philippines where the regiment served during the Insurrection; and the temple flower, representing Cuba, where the regiment was active during the Spanish-American War. The arrow and tomahawk signify participation in Indian campaigns, while the eagle's claw represents the regiment's role in the Occupation of Germany after World War I.
