pray for American Eagles

 

The method of identifying colonels was initially established by General George Washington on July 23, 1775 when he stated: "โ€ฆthe field officers may have red or pink colored cockades in their hats, โ€ฆ". Although there is evidence that colonels wore the eagle as rank insignia in 1829 when they transferred the gold or gilt eagles that decorated their hat cockades to their collars. In 1832, gold eagles were authorized for infantry colonels because they were placed on silver epaulettes and silver eagles to be placed on gold epaulettes were authorized for all other colonels.
