Hey Tyler,
The title..."FRISCAN" belongs to just in general a citizen of San Francisco. However, the U.S. 30th Infantry Regiment received this nickname for the fact that after World War I the U.S. 30th Infantry Regiment was assigned to the Presidio of San Francisco. They remained there from 1921 to 1941. So, in short twenty years of service in that one place alone.
After being stationed there for so many years the citizens of San Francisco considered them part of their family, a part of their city and gave them the nickname ..San Francisco's Own... the FRISCAN's!!!
Kind Regards, FRISCAN
