"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Per pale azure and argent, an eagle displayed per pale argent and sable, armed and langued or.

Trying to work up heraldry for the grand Wilson line, but I'm having a hard time fitting a Unicorn, Katana's, and a Rifle on a counter changed red and black field.
