Blazon: Gules, the terrestrial globe displaying the western hemisphere in front of two naval cutlasses, hilts down, crossed in saltire, all proper, and in base a mullet Argent.
Significance: The crops is named after the USS TRUXTUN, a U.S. Naval destroyer sunk off the coast of Newfoundland during World War II. Many of the crew members of the TRUXTUN were rescued by citizens of Lawn, who have retained a strong connection with the current U.S. ship of the same name. The badge is an adaptation of that of the present USS TRUXTUN. The globe signifies the world-wide responsibilities of the U.S. Navy, represented as a fighting service by the cutlasses. The star indicates the American connection of the ship, as found in the badges of all World War II Royal Navy ships of American origin.
Notes: RCSCC Truxtun, Lawn, Newfoundland
