On the contrary, a different conclusion is deducible from the practice of Congress, and the states; all of which have established some kind of Armorial Devices, to authenticate their official instruments.\u201d (Quoted in &lt;em&gt;Crozier\u2019s General Armory&lt;\/em&gt;, William Armstrong Crozier, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1989, p. vi.) Of course, it is possible to argue that Washington had to say that, since he had, and used, a coat of arms which he had inherited from his Washington (and earlier Wessington) ancestors.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, though, Congress had \u201cestablished some kind of\u201d armorial device, which can be found today on the reverse of the one dollar bill: the shield on the breast of the eagle is the coat of arms of the United States. (In fact, the dollar bill has two different coats of arms on it. The front of each dollar bill has the coat of arms of the United States Treasury engraved upon it.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-48250\" src=\"https:\/\/pro-heraldica.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/USDeptOfTreasurySeal-2003Bill-160x160.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pro-heraldica.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/USDeptOfTreasurySeal-2003Bill-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/pro-heraldica.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/USDeptOfTreasurySeal-2003Bill-160x160-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pro-heraldica.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/USDeptOfTreasurySeal-2003Bill-160x160-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-48249\" src=\"https:\/\/pro-heraldica.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/US_Great_Seal-160x160.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pro-heraldica.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/US_Great_Seal-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/pro-heraldica.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/US_Great_Seal-160x160-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pro-heraldica.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/US_Great_Seal-160x160-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And, too, many of the individual states, as well as many counties and cities have adopted and use coats of arms even today.

But why would any individual want or need to have or use a coat of arms today?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We might begin to answer this question by looking at what at coat of arms actually is in relation to an individual. <strong>It is, effectively, a graphic name tag; what you might think of as the medieval equivalent of a photo ID. A coat of arms states, every bit as much as a signature or business card might, that &#8222;I am so-and-so&#8220; and, by extension, that &#8222;I belong to such-and-such a family&#8220;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Because coats of arms relate specifically to individuals and their immediate family line (and not to everyone who might share the same surname), they can be a unifying factor, helping to create a family identity. As Sanjay Merchant noted on an on-line heraldic discussion forum a while ago, \u201cIt dawned on me one day that these \u2018family crests\u2019 are powerful familial emblems that I could appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it has been said best, I think, by Canadian Benjamin Thornton who, when talking about his seeking a grant of arms from the Canadian Heraldic Authority, noted: \u201cMy interest in heraldry came through my interest in genealogy. Much has already been written about the value of heraldry in creating powerful symbols of family connection, and, well, I wanted some of that \u2013 something visual to signify my family roots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heraldry creates \u201cpowerful symbols of family connection &#8230; something visual to signify [your] family roots.\u201d Who wouldn\u2019t want something like that for their family? <strong>A coat of arms can be a lasting symbol of a family, one that can be passed down and used by each succeeding generation. And that visual family connection is something that is as relevant in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century as it was in the 12<sup>th<\/sup> Century.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>David B.
