Since 550 BC, the Eagle was recognized as the Chief of all winged creatures. Eagles convey the powers and messages of spirit, with connections to a higher power because they fly higher than any other bird. The Eagle brings messages of protection, new beginnings and rebirth. It provides a person with the stamina and resilience to endure difficulties. If an Eagle has appeared, it bestows freedom and courage to look ahead. The Eagle is symbolic of the importance of honesty and truthful principles. Eagles are summoned when someone is about to embark on a challenge or a significant life change. Although Eagles seem to retreat to the skies, they can see higher perspectives and successful paths for the future of the seeker.
SHIELD
Since ancient times, the shield has been associated with shelter and protection from injury or trauma.The ARMOR logo striped shield represents physical, spiritual and emotional protection of all headsets, badges, uniforms and scrubs. It is modeled from the Medieval Knights Hospitallers in 1080, who provided protection and care for the poor, sick, or injured on their life pilgrimages.

Swords pointing upward historically indicate battle or conflict, or readiness for battle or conflict. Swords pointing downward represent peace, rest and the end of conflict. FRTC’s ARMOR response reflects the same sentiments and outcome for First Responders.

Shells, regardless of their shape, are typically seen as positive symbols and have been used throughout human history for various purposes. Scallop shells were symbolic of the wearer’s pilgrimage journey. Medieval Knights Hospitallers carried a scallop shell with them to provide the sick and poorest along the road a scoop of food and drink as a form of care, support and charity.
