The
colours of the armigers
arms were chosen because
of their meaning.
Argent: peace and
sincerity, Azure: truth
and loyalty. The bend
signifies defence or
protection.
The
griffins come from the
coat of arms of the city
of Genoa, where the
Marcenaro family
originated. The griffin
(head, wings, and talons
of an eagle with the
body of a lion); stands
for valour,
death-defying bravery
and loyalty and refers
to the armiger's service
in the United States
Army.
The
silver wings on the
crest signify that the
armiger is a paratrooper
and the hand in armour
with sword is for the
defence of Honour,
Family, God and Country.
As a Knight of Magistral
Grace of the Sovereign
Military Hospitaller
Order of St. John of
Jerusalem, of Rhodes and
of Malta the armiger is
allowed the privilege to
surround his arms with
the badge of the Order.
The
late Hon. David Garrison
of Tranent appointed me
Baron Ballie of the
Barony of Tranent which
gave the armiger the
heraldic privilege to
set the cap of Justice
as Baron-Baillie upon
his arms.
The
armiger has been
honoured with several
Orders of Knighthood:
Grand Officer with Gold
Star of The Royal Order
of Saint Michael of the
Wing. Knight of Jure
Sanguinis of The Sacred
Military Constantinian
Order of Saint George.
Lieutenant (IV Class) of
the Order of Prince
Danilo I.
