2022 USAFA

CREST SYMBOLISM

1. Class Year The number 22 that crowns the top of the crest clearly represents 2022. The abbreviated year resembles crests of the 70s and 80s, and it is fitting because we are the first class of '22.

2 The American Flag The flag flies high at the top of the crest. It reminds the class of what we are defending, and it is raised above all else to symbolize service before self.

3. Class Motto The Latin phrase "Virtus in Sacrificio" is on a banner under the class year. It translates to "Strength in Sacrifice." This class motto, which the class of 2019 gave to us, means that we must forfeit our safety, comfortability, time, and individualism to overpower the enemy.

4 . Polans The Polaris Star, centered in the design above the eagle, reminds us to strive towards excellence and integrity. It shines brightly over the crest as a symbol of our duty to spread trust as we embark on our journey as Air Force officers. It is reminiscent of the Polaris Star on the crest of our Legacy Class of 1972.

3.

5 Planes The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor defines air dominance. The fighter is a direct reference to '22. Its combination of stealth, speed, and agility make the most capable fighter in the Air Force inventory.

The North American P-51 Mustang symbolizes our class exemplar, General Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. In this airframe, he flew several combat missions over Korea as flight leader for the 12th Fighter Bomber Squadron.

6. DJ Etched into the P-51 are the initials of General James.

7. Chapel The chapel is the most recognizable symbol of the Academy. Due to its closure for restoration, we included it as a personification of our ever-lasting challenge to self-improve as we begin our careers as Air Force officers.

11.

12.

8. Eagle As the emblem of the United States of America, the eagle is symbolic of freedom and fierce determination. It is attacking with talons out: like the class of 2022, it takes on any challenge without a hint of apprehension. This eagle resembles the one pictured on the crest of our Legacy Class of 1972.

9. Saber The saber is a symbol of leadership, and it represents our responsibility to protect our nation as members of the Long Blue Line.

10 Prop and Wings The eagle clutches the prop and wings as a representation of our unity. These are the same prop and wings General James wore following his graduation from the Army Air Corps Aviation Cadet Program at Tuskegee. It reminds us of the bonds forged in adversity, and it emphasizes our loyalty to one another.

11. Four Stars The four stars under the wings of the F-22 is another representation of the accomplishments of General James: he was the first African American in the Air Force to pin on four stars. As soon-to-be Second Lieutenants, we must continue to break barriers like this for the betterment of the Air Force.

Class Number Our class number in roman numerals LXIV represents us as the 64th graduating class of the United States Air Force Academy.

CELEBRATING THESE MOMENTS

STONES & CUTS Jostens synthetic stones are "ideal cut" to maximize the dazzle and brilliance of the stone. As light enters the stone, it freely refracts from facet to facet, for a radiant display of color. India-cut stones offer 40% more hand-cut facets than standard facet stones, to bring out their true color and brightness. Sunburst cuts add extra brilliance to your stone with this special feature on the back of the synthetic stones of your choice. Smooth or Facet top available.

You have your choice of the following synthetic stones. Smooth, Facet or any of the Onyx stones are included in the base price of your ring. If you choose a Sunburst or India cut stone there is an additional charge. . ~THETIC ~T ~F PRICING :

METEORITE IOLITE

Color Offering: Iron w/ Widmanstatten Patterns

Appearance: Color varies from sapphire blue to blue violet to yellowish gray to light blue as the light angle changes

Appearance: Varies from stone to stone

Hardness: 7 - 7 1/2

Hardness: 9

Characteristics: Cordierite (mineralogy) - gem variety lolite is a magnesium iron aluminumcyclosilicate.

Characteristics: The Widmanstatten Patterns show us that this stone is "Extra Terrestrial" - from outer space. These stones come from the Gibeon meteorite that is estimated to be 4 billion years old. This meteorite fell to earth over 10,000 years ago in Africa. It is made up of 91.8% Iron and 7.7% Nickel and also contains small amounts of Cobalt, Phosphorus, Iridium, Gallium, and Germanium. Polished with a dilute nitric acid to bring out the Widmanstatten Patterns that are unique in each meteorite.

The name lolite comes from the Greek word for violet. It has also been called "water-sapphire" and "vikings' compass", because of it's reputed ability to determine the direction of the sun on overcast days.
