The blue of the shield is for Infantry. The bend is taken from the arms of Lorraine where the organization saw service during the World War, but the tincture has been changed. The Iowa State Flag as approved in 1921, is blue, white and red; accordingly the shield is of similar tinctures. The ear of corn alludes to "The Corn Song," the soldier's marching song of Iowa.
