"Rebeleven"
1958
The patch consists of a white equilateral triangle, bordered
in red, superimposed on a circular blue field. A red Arabic
numeral "11" sits on silver prop and wings at the center. The
triangle superimposed upon the circle is borrowed from the 6th
Bomb Wing, the original squadron sponsor. The triangle
represents the Greek letter delta to remind all wearers that
each new group of fourth classmen was assigned to Delta Squadron
during basic cadet training. The three segments of the circle
represent academics, athletics and military training. The silver
prop and wings symbolize the cadet wing, while the large "11"
identified the 11th Cadet Squadron. The emblem bears the
squadron's red and white colors; the gold, blue, silver and red
class colors; and the cadet wing's blue and silver colors. This
is the original squadron patch.
