The gold chevronels on the black shield are emblematic of the armiger's 22 year career as a retired non-commissioned officer in the US Army. The fleurs-de-lis are a nod to the armiger's maternal name of Lilly who as Huguenots fled France for County Antrim, Northern Ireland and years later sailed to South Carolina in 1798. The lion rampant is a nod to his Scottish paternal name of Henderson whose ancestor arrived in Virginia during the 17th Century. The silver chief symbolizes the peace and sincerity of his family. The red represents the fortitude and blood of his family. | The gold chevronels on the black shield are emblematic of the armiger's 22 year career as a retired non-commissioned officer in the US Army.
