The crossroads represent the honors bestowed on the Wing by the 37th Pursuit Group--honors the Group earned in WWII serving as the "Defenders of the Crossroads," the Panama Canal. In 1953, the Air Force gave the Wing permission to adopt the 37th Pursuit Group's insignia and motto, "Defenders of the Crossroads," as the Wing's official heraldry.
