Sabrejet Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 This is the official Pentagon / Institute of Heraldry site which lists all of the current mottos. If your DUI has a motto (as most do) just look it up here and it'll tell you which unit it belongs to. http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/UniformedServices/Mottos.aspx?sortbymotto=1 "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!" Winston Churchill " Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans." John Winston Lennon Link to post Share on other sites
jgawne Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Your best bet is to join asmic and get their guides, as they catalog some really obscure ones not found elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
ithaca37 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Your best bet is to join asmic and get their guides, as they catalog some really obscure ones not found elsewhere. I would recommend the first guides you get are the ASMIC Motto Guide and the ASMIC Charge List. These are almost always extremely helpful to me. THE IOH website is a good resource as well.

irish Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Agreed, ASMIC is the way to go. the motto guide alone is worth the price of membership.. Link to post Share on other sites
1SG_1st_Cav Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The ASMIC MOTTO GUIDE and Charge List is the best resource you can buy. I cannot collect without out my copy.

joepe Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 A great source is a very new product by Mr. William Cotter - he sells on Ebay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/SALE-20-OFF-A-Collection-of-US-Army-Unit-Crests/114156860700?hash=item1a9447751c:g:~M4AAOSwP2Zed-ou Link to post Share on other sites
