The bear was carried as a mascot throughout World War I. The tree with barbed wire around the trunk is symbolic of capture by the 360th Infantry of the fortified Bois-le-Pretre on September 13, 1918, which was the regiment's most outstanding feat of arms in World War I. The star represents Texas, the Lone Star State, where the regiment was organized. The "OT" monogram (90th Division insignia) alludes to the regiment's service with the 90th Division in World War I. | The bear was carried as a mascot throughout World War I.
