The armiger is
a US Army
Field
Artillery
Officer: Gules
(red)
signifies the
Service branch
colour, the
cannons are
the branch
symbols, and
the cannon
balls are the
munition. The
bend
represents the
defensive
nature of
serving in the
armed forces,
with the
narrow bends
representing
that the
armiger is
named as “the
second” after
his
grandfather.
Argent
(white/silver)
for the bends
was chosen to
coincide with
defence as
strength
through peace.
For the crest,
a stag's head
upon a wreath
was selected
in honor of
being a
Vermonter. To
a Vermonter,
the stag (the
male
white-tailed
deer)
symbolises the
rugged,
untamed spirit
of the Green
Mountains. It
represents a
deep,
long-standing
connection to
the
wilderness,
respect for
sustainable
local
traditions,
and the
seasonal
rhythm of life
in New
England.
Lastly, the
motto, "Vivere
In Proposito",
is a Latin
phrase that
translates to,
"to live
according to
one's purpose"
or "living
with
intention.".
It embodies
the philosophy
of living a
deliberate,
focused life
rather than
merely
drifting
through it,
and has
been a driving
force for
all that
the armiger
does; "don’t
let life pass
you by, have a
reason or
meaning."
