The colors of the stripes--black and primitive green--are those the Army Air Service bore during World War I. The three primitive green stripes represent the three major offensives in which the wing participated in World War I: St. Mihiel, Lorraine, and Meuse-Argonne. The white fleur-de-lis at the top symbolizes France, the theater of operations for the wing's World War I achievements. The lower portion of the shield is Air Force golden yellow, charged with four aerial bombs in ultramarine blue, not only representing the original four combatant squadrons (11th, 20th, 96th and 166th Aero Squadrons) but also suggesting the unit's present mission as a heavy bomb wing of Air Combat Command. Motto: Libertatem Defendimus (Liberty We Defend). The original motto, Mors et Destructio (Death and Destruction), was replaced on 15 April 1940 by current motto.
