Symbolism
The red and white divided shield represents the old Cavalry guidon.
The regiment saw good fighting in the Philippines as indicated by the crossed kris and kampilan of the Moro and Lake Lanao campaigns.
In the war with Germany, the regiment was in France in the vicinity of Bordeaux and the golden lion is taken from the arms of that city.
The translation of the motto "All for one, one for all" is indicative of the spirit , which has made the regiment.
The "Golden Gate" is the portico called "through the portals of the past" which is now in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.
It was one of the few things left standing after the fire of 1906 and was removed and reerected as noted.
The birthplace of the regiment is indicated by the crest.
