'v-sign' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'revolutionary facing reagan?' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary facing' becomes 'chev' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'reagan?' becomes 'ron' (Ronald Reagan).
'chev'+'ron'='CHEVRON'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chevron that I've seen before include "pointed symbol" , "one soldier may wear on sleeve" , "Multinational US energy corporation" , "V-shaped sleeve badge" , "V-shaped marking" .)
