508th Infantry Regiment Coat of Arms Gonfalon – 3' x 5' Sewn Appliqué
This ceremonial gonfalon was custom-crafted to honor Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment (2-508 PIR)—a legendary airborne unit within the 82nd Airborne Division.
Designed and presented as part of the Operation Resilience (OpRes) retreat hosted by The Independence Fund in March 2025, this 3' x 5' indoor banner stands as a proud symbol of the unit's enduring spirit. Each detail is sewn, not printed—featuring a bold red lion on a diagonal white stripe, symbolizing the 508th's historic lineage, and the words “FURY FROM THE SKY”—the battalion’s motto and battle cry.
Constructed from durable nylon with a pole hem and sewn tab for display hooks, this gonfalon is finished with elegant silver fringe for a polished, dignified look. It was originally unveiled at the OpRes welcome dinner in Charlotte, NC, where veterans of Alpha Company gathered to reconnect, reflect, and honor their fallen brothers.
Ideal for indoor presentation in unit headquarters, military ceremonies, veteran centers, or private collections, this banner reflects not only pride in the past—but strength for the future.
