These are some of the replies I've gotten on the meaning of the inscripition under the Eagle: 1. "A writing from the Koran that uses arabic words. Translates to " For God Soldiers on Heavens(Skies) and Earth" Spoken it is pronounced " Wa lil lah ganoud al samahwat wa al ard" It is not a complete surah or verse from the Koran but words taken from it. He cannot say which country produced it because several non arabic countries use the writing from the Koran." 2. "To God the earth and sky soldiers" This is a translation of part of a statement in Quran." 3. "Earth and Sky Soldiers," so I assume this is a regimental crest from some airborne outfit.
