US ARMY DENTAL ACTIVITY FORT DRUM
Official blazon
A silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm) in height overall consisting of a stylized silver pine cone in front and between a sheaf of silver pine needles and centered thereon a maroon cross charged with a silver snake entwined on a silver arrow all resting in a semi-circular green motto scroll ends pointed and bearing the words "SERVE WITH PRIDE" in silver letters.
Origin/meaning
Maroon and white (silver) are the colors associated with the Dental Corps. The maroon cross and entwined serpent on a staff are traditional symbols of medicine and healing and reflect the mission of the unit. The arrow further suggests the military mission associated with care of the soldier and also reflects the American Indian heritage of the home area of the unit. The pinecone and needles allude to the unit's home location, Fort Drum, once known as Pine Camp in the pine plains of New York state.
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 3 February 1987.
Literature: Image and Information from The Institute of Heraldry, US Army.
