APPLE -  Symbolic of knowledge and found often on the gravestones of educators.   Though the forbidden fruit in the Book of Genesis is not identified, popular tradition holds that Adam and Eve ate an apple from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden.  This may have been the result of Renaissance painters adding elements of Greek mythology into biblical scenes.   The unnamed fruit of Eden thus became an apple under the influence of the story of the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides.

COLONIAL DAMES OF AMERICA (CDA) -  The Colonial Dames of America (CDA) is an American organization composed of women who are descended from an ancestor who lived in British America from 1607–1775, and was of service to the colonies by either holding public office, being in the military, or serving the Colonies in some other "eligible" way.  The National Headquarters is at Mount Vernon Hotel Museum in New York City, which was purchased by the CDA in 1924.

CHOCTAW NATION TRIBE SEAL -  An unstrung bow, encompassing three arrows and a smoking pipe-hatchet, symbolizes history and tradition of the Choctaw Indians.  This seal was used on all official papers of the Choctaw Nation until 1907, when the Indian and Oklahoma Territories united as the State of Oklahoma.

CAMEL -  from the Hebrew gamal , "to repay" or "requite,"  Camels are symbolic of a long journey as well as skilled guides.  They have been traveling for eons, and their energy is impressed with themes of guidance.     

BALLOONS - The balloon represents childhood innocence and imagination.  

THE FORT SILL APACHE TRIBE -  The Fort Sill Apache Tribe is the federally recognized Native American tribe of Chiricahua Warm Springs Apache in Oklahoma.  The Fort Sill Apache Tribe is headquartered in Apache, Oklahoma.  Tribal member enrollment, which requires a  1⁄16minimum blood quantum (equivalent to one great-great-grandparent), stands at 650.   The tribe continues to maintain close connections to the Chiricahua Apache who were moved to the Mescalero Apache Reservation in the late 19th century.

U.S. ARMY AIR ASSAULT BADGE -  The Air Assault Badge is awarded by the U.S. Army for successful completion of the Air Assault School.  The course includes three phases of instruction involving U.S. Army rotary wing aircraft: combat air assault operations; rigging and sling loading operations; and rappelling from a helicopter.
