The shield is red for Artillery. The pointed tower in dexter chief represents the Champagne-Marne operation and is from the arms of Chateau-Thierry; the embattled tower in sinister chief represents the Meuse-Argonne operation and is from the arms of Verdun; the fleur-de-lis in base represents the Aisne-Marne operation and is for Soissons; the three divisions of the chevron represent World War I service in Ile de France, [[Lorraine]], and St Mihiel. The motto, taken from Virgil's Aeneid, IX, 641, is the motto for the Second Corps of Cadets, adopted when they were organized. Virgil's Aeneid, translated, is, "Go on, raise your glories higher, tis thus that men to heaven aspire." | The shield is red for Artillery.
