Orlando Squadron Burgee Heraldry
Blue was selected as a background and the metal silver was used for the design
of our burgee. A life ring signifies safety in boating, a primary purpose of
USPS. To get away from the appearance of a flag with a hole in it, a simple
vertical chevron wa s added. This was taken from the Army sleeve insignia and
denotes a first class organization. Orlando is proud of their "First Class" safe
boating group and it has been a vital part of safer boating in central Florida.

Seminole Squadron Burgee Heraldry
Our pennant consists of the head of Chief Osceola in red, facing aft to ghree
lightning bolts in blue on a white pennant. Osceola was the best known of the
Seminole Indian Chiefs, whence comes the name of Seminole County and the
designated name of our Squadron. The lightening bolts represent the common
occurrence of severe electric storms along the St. Johns River, which forms the
Eastern boundary of Seminole County. The seven feathers on Osceola' s head and
the three lightning bolts are intended t o indicate '73, the year in which we
hoped to become a full-fledged Squadron of USPS.
