Design Rationale

The colors of my arms were chosen because of their meaning. Argent: peace and sincerity, Azure: truth and loyalty. The bend signifies defense 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 the armiger is a paratrooper, and the hand in armor with sword is for the defense of Honor, Family, God and Country.
