US ARMY DENTAL ACTIVITY FRANKFURT
Official blazon
A silver color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (3.02cm) in diameter consisting of a silver disc bearing a silver diagonal band pierced at the center and charged with three maroon Greek crosses, all between six silver spokes radiating from a hub to a circular maroon rim surrounding the disc and bearing in silver letters the words "TO PRESERVE" at the top and "ORAL HEALTH" at the bottom.
Origin/meaning
Maroon and white (silver) are the traditional colors of the Army Medical Corps. The cross is a symbol of mercy and service and the three crosses refer to the three Medical Detachments of the Dental Activity. The wheel-like shape alludes to the mobility of the Medical Detachments.
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 23 May 1983.
