Description

[edit]

Description/Blazon

A Gold metal and enamel device 1 5/32 inches (2.94 cm) in height overall consisting of a shield blazoned: Gules, a griffin's head erased Or, langued Azure, in dexter chief a fleur-de-lis of the second. Attached below the shield a Red scroll inscribed "QUOD FACIO, VALDE FACIO" in Gold letters.

Symbolism

The shield is red for Artillery, the original designation of the unit. The griffin symbolizes a valiant hero, who rather than yield to his enemy, exposes himself to the worst of dangers. The fleur-de-lis indicates World War I service. The motto translates to "What I Do, I Do Well."

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 326th Field Artillery, Organized Reserve on 7 May 1937. It was amended to add a motto on 4 November 1937. The insignia was redesignated for the 326th Field Artillery Battalion, Organized Reserve on 7 October 1942. It was redesignated for the 84th Regiment, Army Reserve on 19 August 1960.
