Every unit has a story.
For generations, that story has been carried on a guidon.
This custom piece was inspired by the traditional military guidon—reimagined as a display piece designed to preserve a Soldier’s legacy long after the final formation.
Featuring the 56th Infantry Brigade Combat Team colors, unit insignia, rank, challenge coin, and personalized inscription, this piece honors over two decades of service and leadership.
Fun fact: The word guidon comes from the old French word guyd-homme, meaning “guide man.” Long before modern communications, Soldiers rallied on the battlefield by finding their unit’s guidon and following it forward.
Today, the guidon still represents a unit’s identity, history, and esprit de corps.
It’s no surprise these encased guidon displays are quickly becoming one of Oak & Honor’s most requested designs.
