The parent unit’s service in England during World War II, for which it was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation, European Theater, is indicated by the scarlet and white cross for the Cross of St. George, The English national emblem; the lion passant guardant from the Royal Arms of England is depicted in scarlet, the color of the Meritorious Unit Commendation Streamer; the wavy disc with band alludes to the noted mineral springs of the health and holiday resort, Malvern, England, where the parent unit first served. The radiant gold sun which refers to the former unit’s long service in Florida, “The Sunshine State,” is also symbolic of regeneration and healing. Additionally, the cross, an emblem of aid and care, signifies the Hospital’s mission and motto. | Maroon and white are colors traditionally associated with the Medical Corps.
