Umm sorry friend, I didn't know they have embalms on them. Or did you mean the emblems? The rams head on the nose kinda thing?
If Emblems are what you are talking about, I would think that if they aren't screwed in, that they are adhesied on them with some kind of epoxy or glue. I doubt there would be any way to get it off with out ruining the paint.
If you are wanting to repaint it anyway; as your inquiry would lead me to assume would be your reason for removing it in the first place, then I would try to loosen the paint with the same stripper you are useing to remove the rest of it. Otherwise my friend.. I have no clue. I would think though, if you use anything acetone, it would ruin the emblem as well as the paint around it.
I personally would ask a professional auto detailer how they would take the emblem off of it.

Don't get rid of your emblems, for those that aren't too automotive savvy may think your Caravan is a Windstar, and that would be an insult.

i'm in the progress of getting konis... truthfully, i'm not too happy with my van right now, things are starting to break and wear and it's not great... like, my driver side HID bulb burnt out, i was playing with it a few days ago and i got it wet and it blew.. so that's out... some idiot hit me while backing up, so my bumper is all scratched up, i can't put my new rims and tires on beause they are summer tires, my tints are too dark and i can't really see out at night, so it's a pain in the ass to back up.. i'm at college so i'm renting a garaged spot, i was helping my friend jump start his car and he was moving my car for me, he sracted the passanger side of my car by running along the wall of the garage.. just stupid stuff like that.. i'm really not in the mood of my van right now.. i think i'm going to ditch the project and just get a mercedes or something... i need some motivation for some more caravan mods.. yeh!

Hey man, from the sounds of it, your van isn't breaking down. Its just getting bumped around from the daily grind. Since I got my truck, I've noticed a few more scratches on my rear bumper (scratches shows up much better in chrome !). All I can surmise is people backing up and not realizing how long my truck is they bump into it.
Am i disappointed in the truck ? No. I'm just annoyed at the people who can't drive.
You can't help it if some jerk doesn't know how to back up, nor is it your fault if your buddy scratched up the side of your van. I'm not too familiar with HID bulbs, but I know that the regular bulbs are finicky to begin with, touch it with your bare hands and you can expect it to fry in a short period of time.
As for the dark tints, do what I do. Park a little bit further away (if possible) or back in.

Use a heat gun or hair drier to warm them up(not too hot though) and just peel them off.
