The PNA Emblem....
The original emblem, in 1880, did not show the hand shake nor the leafs or sunburst. The emblem in reality, is a relic form the January, 1863, uprising of Poland against Russia. It was designed by the Revolutionary Government as a reminder that the Royal Republic of Poland was a commonwealth of three nations who shared the glories and misfortunes of the State.
The white eagle on the red shield represents crown lands, or Poland proper; the white knight on blue shield known ad Pogonb (the chase) is the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania while St. Michael, Archangel symbolized the Duchy of Ruthenia.
The crown over the eagle's head was used when kings and queens ruled Poland. The cross attached to the crown, signifies Catholicity of Poland, being christianized in 966.
The handshake signifies brotherhood and fraternalism.
The laurel leaves denote honor, fame, glory and honesty.
The oak leaves on the left, denote strength, firmness,lastingness stability and durability.
Joining the PNA a "Dawn of a New Day" means a brighter more secure future. This is the meaning of the sunburst.
GOD BLESS AMERICA..PEACE BE TO ALL....
Support our Country....Be Proud to be an American
