For a more close to home example; the oklahoma 45th infantry in the national guard used a swastika as their symbol before the nazis did. The term used for it is a "hooked cross" and its a native american symbol, they used it as a nod to the fact the area they represent is one of the largest centers for native households in the country. When the nazis started using the swastika they switched to the thunderbird, another native symbol.
