The Catholic War Veterans Emblem consists of several parts:

• The Celtic Cross represents to us the symbol of Christianity preserved and protected by our valiant forefathers.

• The letters U.S. on the star are for the United States and stand for the Constitution on which are based our principles.

• The Star stands for the glory of victory.

• The Wreath is for rememberance of those who died that liberty might live.

• The Circle denotes the Perpetuity of the Church which will last until the end of time as guarenteed by its founder, Jesus Christ.

• The Olive Branch of peace signifies our attitude toward all men in fulfillment of our Lord's behest, "Love thy Neighbor as Thyself."
