I need to make up a motto.

You already have a motto according to your profile... Jeremiah 29:11?

what about a poem by Robert Frost? Or what about this: Words can't always get you what you want, but a baseball bat will!

To Fight the Good Fight.

Do you know what that means? Ask-if you want.

It's kinda-sorta not-really like "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything."

I wish I knew more Latin...and maybe I could come up with something cool. {but not like Veni Vidi Vici, lol-I came, I saw, I conquered!} Vanguard itself means the frontlines (right?) the forward element of an advancing military formation, and in defense I keep thinking of a banner, and how in war times, the banner must not fall, if the banner carrier fell, immediately another person stepped up to replace them before it ever hit the ground. Those were the guys that could wield no weapons and carry the standard too. It was one of the bravest positions, but others around would rally around him to keep him from attack as long as they could, they defended him with their lives.
~for some reason that kept coming to mind.
If you want, & I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

<I think these are early Roman soldiers 5th c. maybe Constantine banner.> Not sure.
