Every element of the design has some heraldic meaning. The design utilizes the Air Force Shield, signifying not only our allegiance to the United States Air Force but also the fact that we stand ready to serve our fellow man when called. The predominant color is blue, once again indicating our close association with the US Air Force and signifying that we patrol the skies. The design on the lower half of the shield is a stylized representation of the Lawrence J Timmerman Airport, the location where the unit is based and which gives us our name. Rising high from the horizon is a stylized aerospace craft, symbolizing both man's unending drive to explore as well as the indomitable spirit of the unit and its members. The three contrails behind the craft represent the three missions of the Civil Air Patrol, each separate but equal and all converging to propel the organization into the future.
The seven stars represent the Timmerman-based squadrons that came before us, units that some of us were members of and that have materially contributed to the strength and foundation of our squadron. The three larger stars to the dexter symbolize the three units that came together to form the Timmerman Composite Squadron - the 623rd Composite Squadron, the Milwaukee Emergency Services Squadron and the Mitchell Composite Squadron 9; they are larger because they now form the unit's component flights. The four smaller stars to the sinister represent the units that merged together to form, or were absorbed by, those units - the 10th Land Rescue Team Flight, the 620th Wisconsin Cadet Squadron, the 621st Wisconsin Cadet Squadron and the Colonel Benjamin Moeller Memorial Composite Squadron; they are smaller because they have been deactivated, yet they are not forgotten.
