Maroon and white are the colors used for the Army Medical Department. The eight-rayed sun from the flag of the Philippine President commemorates the hospital’s service in World War II, for which it was awarded the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation, the palm tree referring to the New Guinea and Luzon campaigns. The fleur-de-lis indicates the unit’s service in World War I. The cross, a symbol of aid and assistance, signifies the historical organization of the unit at Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles, California. The gold rays in the background, which allude both to sunny California and to healing, and the motto from the story of the “Good Samaritan,” also refer to the origin and function of the hospital. The snow-capped mountains allude to the unit’s 1947 activation in Utah. | Maroon and white are the colors used for the Army Medical Department.
