Description14FARegtCOA.jpg |
English: 14TH FIELD ARTILLERY REGIMENT Coat of Arms,
Description/Blazon Shield Gules a broad armed Maltese cross with slightly reentrant ends Argent within fourteen gouttes d'eau reversed arranged in the outline of peyote (one of the cactus family, in outline approximating a circle). Crest On a wreath of the colors, Argent and Gules, an American Indian war bonnet Gules and Argent over Satanta's arrow of the last. Motto EX HOC SIGNO VICTORIA. Symbolism Shield Scarlet (red) is a color traditionally associated with Artillery units. The cross, a heraldic device, and utilized by the Indians in Oklahoma, is symbolic of the morning star and is representative of the dawn of the 14th Field Artillery. The fourteen drops of water correspond to the numerical designation of the regiment. The irregular placement of the drops is to represent a dried peyote, a species of small cactus, one of the sacred emblems of the Comanche and Kiowa Indians. Crest The war bonnet pierced by the arrow of Satanta, a noted Kiowa chief of the mid-19th century, is really a spear with a feathered end and leather grip. Satanta was well known among all the Indians of the Fort Sill region. Background The coat of arms was originally approved for the 14th Field Artillery Regiment on 24 February 1921. It was amended to correct the blazon of the shield on 28 April 1923. It was redesignated for the 14th Field Artillery (Armored) Regiment on 25 October 1940. The insignia was redesignated for the 14th Armored Field Artillery Battalion on 30 March 1942. It was redesignated for the 14th Artillery Regiment on 21 November 1958. Effective 1 September 1971, it was redesignated for the 14th Field Artillery Regiment. The insignia was amended to correct the blazon of the shield and revise the symbolism on 7 November 1991. |
