Sgt. Audie Murphy Club Crest
The Sgt. Audie Murphy Club crest was designed by one of the original organizers of the club, Mr. Don Moore, a professional illustrator from Killeen, Texas. The primary elements of the crest are…
- The letters S A M C: are an abbreviation for the “Sergeant Audie Murphy Club”.
- The three stars: separate the letters and represent the “Be”, “Know” and “Do” which is at the core of an Army NCO’s professional spirit.
- The laurel: represents the individual achievement of the NCO in the club.
- The lightning bolt: represents swift and decisive action taken by the NCO.
- The sword: is a historical reference and is the symbolic tool of the NCO to cut to the heart of the matter and to lead the charge.
- The U.S. Army staff sergeant stripes: represent the highest enlisted rank attained by Audie Murphy.
- The powder-blue streamers: the color of the infantry, indicate the words of the NCO philosophy: Loyalty, Caring, Discipline, and Professionalism.
- The majestic American Bald Eagle: the national bird and our country’s symbol for freedom. The eagle also represents the intent of the SAMC to be nationwide.
