The Columbian Coat of Arms contains three symbolic elements: the sword, the anchor and the battle axe, recalling the noble and illustrious deeds of the Order's founders. The sword and the anchor, placed one over the other, form a sort of "X" or St Andrew's cross. The sword symbolizes honor, distinction, bravery and courage. The anchor, an instrument designed to hold a ship in place, represents that which attaches, stops, consolidates and stabilizes. The battle axe, placed on the shield, symbolizes action taken to overcome obstacles or ambushes on the road to accomplishing one's objectives. The bundle represents the solid grouping of people come together to realize a common ideal under the guidance of a recognized leader. It symbolizes teamwork, the strength inherent in unity and fraternity. The helmet, placed on the upper part of the Coat of Arms represents rank or degree of nobility. On the coat of arms of a warrior it is the noblest and principal ornament. The little white triangle, above the helmet and pointing upward, symbolizes the flame which lights and guides.

@@TommyRosati you're denying historical fact. The KofC description isn't a fact; it's your propaganda to get past the fact that you have a symbol of fascism on your flag.
