The nickname "bloody bucket" for the 28th infantry division was actually coined by German soldiers that faced them in combat. The insignia of the 28th Infantry division was a red keystone, symbolizing the fact that the 28th infantry division was a Pennsylvania National Guard unit, and Pennsylvania's nickname is the "Keystone State"
