- Front Side: The official USAFA Crest commands center stage eagle clutching thunderbolts above a soaring Falcon, encircled by the motto “Integrity First • Service Before Self • Excellence In All We Do”. The founding year (1954) is subtly engraved beneath the shield, flanked by delicate contrails and the iconic Chapel spire. Micro-etched stars along the border nod to the Polaris guiding light and the eternal vigilance of the Wild Blue Yonder.
Measuring approximately 3 inches in diameter and weighing under 2 ounces, this ornament balances dignified heft with effortless display. Over time, a subtle natural patina deepens its high-altitude character, enhancing the crisp details without diminishing their clarity.
