Symbolism:
[edit]- The colors blue and white indicate the Infantry nature of the organization. The thunderbird is an appropriate symbol for a parachute battalion. The motto has its origin in a cry uttered in the maiden jump of the test platoon and is now tradition with the 501st Parachute Battalion.
Background:
[edit]- The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 501st Parachute Battalion on 1941-03-1941. It was redesignated for the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment on 1942-07-08. On 1947-01-20 the insignia was redesignated for the 501st Infantry Battalion. It was redesignated for the 501st Infantry Regiment on 1958-09-18.
