LOGO HISTORY
The history of the Grunt Style logo will help you better understand the significance of each individual aspect. The crossed rifles you see are 1792 Springfield Muskets, the weapons that won the war of 1812. These weapons helped to assure our independence as a nation. Looking at any Infantry guidon flag, the company logo (A/B/C Co.) is always located where the ‘GS’ is within our own primary Grunt Style logo. The year 1776 is when our country was founded, our motto, “This We’ll Defend”, was the motto of the American Revolution. Each word is meaningful. “This” refers to the United States, the U. S. Constitution and liberty. “We’ll” references the army’s collective team efforts, and “Defend” refers to the primary function of the army as a defender of the nation, not an aggressor against others. Now “This We’ll Defend” is the official motto of the United States Army and Grunt Style.
ASSAULTING FLAG
The Assaulting Flag dates back to the Army's early history when both the cavalry and infantry units would charge ahead as the Stars and Stripes streamed back. As Americans, we are always moving forward. The stars of our Union will lead the way and the stripes of our original colonies will keep us grounded in our founding. This we'll defend!
