Description/Blazon

A shield blazoned: Azure, a closet between two wavy barrulets, surmounted by a pairle Argent; overall the old insignia of the First Regiment of Infantry, Illinois National Guard (a wheel within a diamond) Proper; in chief, four fleurs-de-lis, three and one, of the second. Above the shield, on a wreath and upon a grassy field, is the blockhouse of old Fort Dearborn, all in Silver Gray. Below and to the sides of the shield is a silver scroll inscribed "DUCIT AMOR PATRIAE" in blue letters.

Symbolism

The blue shield represents the current Infantry color, while the silver or white charges signify the old Infantry facing color. The pairle is adapted from the Chicago seal: the first wavy barrulets denote Spanish-American War service, the closet symbolizes Mexican Border duty, and the second wavy barrulets represent the organization's second period of overseas Federal service. The four fleurs-de-lis indicate engagements during World War I. The charge at the fess point is the insignia of the former First Regiment of Infantry, Illinois National Guard. The motto translates to "Led By Love Of Country."

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was approved for the 131st Infantry Regiment on April 19, 1927.
