Description: A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/4 inches (3.18 cm) in height overall consisting of a gold castle wall embattled of four merlons and with a convex base, bearing four red sentry towers (of the type on El Moro Castle, San Juan, Puerto Rico) conjoined crosswise the doorways of white fimbriated gold all above a red scroll bearing the inscription "SIEMPRE PRESENTE" in gold letters. Symbolism: The embattled wall, implying strength, and sentry towers, implying constant vigilance and readiness, were suggested by El Moro Castle and are used as being symbolic of the Headquarters, Puerto Rico Army National Guard located in San Juan. The gold castle wall also symbolizes the island of Puerto Rico as a whole; the four sentry towers referring to its North, South, East and West areas and the units of the National Guard stationed therein. The red towers are conjoined to form a cross and with the white doorways forming another cross allude to the banner of St. John (a white or silver cross on a red field) which appears in the crest of the Puerto Rico Army National Guard. Aside from the red and gold colors of Spain, the shape of the insignia and its symbols reflect Puerto Rico's Spanish heritage and culture. Background: The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment and noncolor bearing units of the Puerto Rico Army National Guard on 9 October 1967. The insignia was redesignated effective 29 March 1983, for Headquarters, State Area Command, Puerto Rico Army National Guard.SHIPPING: Pleaseview theshipping calculator belowfor shipping costs to your location.Please note that items are shipped within 2 business from receipt of CLEARED PAYMENT.
