Badge
The idea of the badge is to underline Colonel Rice's career as a military officer as well as his accomplishments as an author. Included also is an additional reference to Scotland (his great-grandparents' birthplace) and Nova Scotia (Mrs. Rice's birthplace), through the diagonal division which echoes the saltire cross on the Nova Scotian and Scottish flags.
