THE SHIEL: Are certain charges in common use in arms, and in their simple forms are bounded by straight lines. Their number has never been precisely agreed upon, but most heralds recognize nine principal ones, which they call honourable, namely, the cross, the chief, the pale, the bend, the bend sinister, the fesse, the bar, the saltire, and the chevron. (In layman's terms these are the various styles that form the compartments in the shield.) Chevron: Protection; granted as a reward to one who has achieved some notable enterprise. Said to represent the rooftree of a house, and has sometimes been given to those who have built churches or fortresses or who have accomplished some work of faithful service.

MOTTO "praemitto illac". Not being one educated in the language of Latin, to the best of my research ability this is the closest to "leads the way" as I could find. "praemitto" meaning to send forward, dispatch, send in advance. "illac" meaning over there, along that path, in that direction. I do hope that you like it, I tried to encompass the feeling of honouring the past and looking to the future while choosing the symbols to add.
