The upper edge of the bar is representative of mountain peaks and the lower edge of flowing water, together, they simulate the Royal Gorge in Colorado, where Emory S. Land was born. The three stars indicate Vice Admiral Land, s leadership, denote his highest rank and refer to his service in the three wars, with Spain, World War I Cwhen he was awarded the Navy Cross, represented by the cross on the collar of the sea horsej and World War II. The trident is associated with the Neptune, the 'gRuler of the Seasj, and is symbolic of a Sailor's knowledge of the sea.
