It is important to me because there is no lineage to pass down, and I am using it as an illustration...a marking point to begin a lineage. Next, my identifiers for combat (unit patch, regimental markings, etc.) do not belong to me they belong to the U.S. Army. This Coat of Arms is mine and it embodies symbolism important to me, my family and it will stand as a marker for the expectations I have of my children and I hope they will have for theirs.
