DIVISION 11 SEAL SYMBOLISM
COLORS/OBJECTS: All colors and objects inherent in this
seal symbolizes heritage and traditional missions performed by the U.S.
Coast Guard Auxiliary - a premier, maritime organization with its
devotion to duty in promoting boating safety. Blue alludes to the
nautical waters and the challenge of the sea. The U.S.C.G. racing stripe
and colors inside the state outline of Tennessee, represent our
commitment and strengthening bond with other members of TEAM COAST
GUARD.
WORDS:
The words "Semper Paratus" , is the motto of the U.S.C.G. and the Latin
words meaning "always ready", states our own preparedness for any duty
or mission called upon us to conduct that certainty never predicts.
STATE: The State of Tennessee represents Division
11's
area that our Auxiliary missions are centralized in and as the
"volunteer state." The state also symbolizes our Area of Responsibility
(AOR) and the five flotillas united within Division 11. The state
outline depicts the heritage of Tennesseans but more importantly our
Auxiliary spirit of volunteerism of promoting boating safety in America.
ANCHOR: The heraldic anchor within the U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary emblem is a uniform symbol of every seagoing vessel worldwide.
For Division 11, it represents our rigid point of support, stability and
security made fast to the earth below.
CREATION HISTORY OF THE
GREAT SEAL FOR DIVISION 11
A Division patch/seal committee was formed early in 2001 and included, John Whelan,
Tom Murn and Scott Farr. These individuals worked very hard to come up
with a seal that would represent our Division and it's members. Many
designs, ideas and contributions came together while trying to decide on
"the best design" that would serve our Division. The Division
even tossed around the idea of having a mascot with a fictional
character to represent our AOR. Unfortunately, a mascot could
not be decided on and created efficiently. Weeks later, the final
Division Seal was created by Scott L. Farr with the final approving help
of John Whelan, Tom Murn and a Division vote by participating board
members.
