BELLS -  Are message carriers.  The sound of the bell creates a message from earth to heaven above.  Bells ringing are rites of passage to proclaim that the righteous or worthy have passed from the earthly plane to their heavenly station in heaven.

Bells also symbolize guidance as ships and boats sound their "bells" when sailing through fog to announce their location to other boats or ships.  

REGISTERED NURSE (RN) -  There are approximately 3.1 million active registered nurses in the United States.  In the US, a registered nurse is a clinician who has completed at least an associate degree in nursing or a hospital-based diploma program.  The RN has successfully completed the NCLEX-RN examination for initial licensure.  Associate degrees in nursing frequently take three years to complete because of the increased volume of undergraduate coursework related to the profession of nursing.

POW-MIA (PRISONERS OF WAR & MISSING IN ACTION) -  The POW/MIA flag is an American flag designed as a symbol of citizen concern about United States military personnel taken as prisoners of war (POWs) or listed as missing in action (MIA).  

PEACE PIPE -  The meaning of the broken arrow symbol was to signify peace.  A Peace treaty or covenant was signed with due ceremony.  A ceremonial smoking pipe, called a Calumet, was often used to seal a peace treaty, hence the term 'Peace Pipe'.

OKLAHOMA STATE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (OSBI) -  In the early 1920's, gangs of outlaws roamed the state terrorizing the citizens of many Oklahoma towns.  These gangsters often escaped lawmen by fleeing across county lines.  The U.S. Marshal's Service was the only law enforcement agency with statewide jurisdiction, but its officers were outnumbered by the bandits.  In 1925, Governor M.E. Trapp recommended the creation of an agency of special investigators to combat the outlaws.
