Guido / Ë É¡ w iË d oÊ / is a slang term, often derogatory, for a working-class urban Italian American. The guido stereotype is multi-faceted. Originally, it was used as a demeaning term for Italian Americans in general.
The flag was symbolic. It helped units develop a sense of pride and Eprit de Corps, as well as serving the more practical purpose of providing a rally point for soldiers during the heat of battle. A guidon is a swallow-tailed unit marker, with the dimensions measuring 20 inches (hoist) by 27 inches (fly). The swallow-tail end is forked l0 inches. A fringe, often seen on unit colors, is not used on guidons. Letters and numerals read from left to right on each side of the guidon. The letters and numbers on guidons are 3 1/2 inches high unless otherwise indicated. Today, when a Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) is authorized for use on the guidon, the design will appear proper on both sides.
