The Insignia also ties into the First Infantry's nicknames. For example, one of the nicknames the Division is called the "Big Red One" in the Insignia a big red one is dead center of the insignia. The reason the one was red is because red stands for power, revolution, courage, and domination, which is what the Division is all about, they respond first and they must have to be courage, and powerful. ]]> 2017-12-21 02:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lukas_shema/sto8ihl543tr/wish/217624704
