HeraldryThe regimental coat of arms was approved on 9 June 1924 and its distinctive unit insignia was approved on 10 July 1926. Both were rescinded on 17 February 1959. The distinctive unit insignia consisted of a 1 1/8 inch (2.86 cm) gold colored metal and enamel device with an ermine chevron and black gauntlet on a field of yellow. The regimental motto, "Lead me Forward", was attached to the insignia on a golden scroll. The chevron and gauntlet were taken from the shield of American military commander Anthony Wayne, who fought battles in Michigan, and the yellow represented the cavalry. The words "Lead Me Forward" were spoken by Wayne after he was wounded at Battle of Stony Point during the American Revolutionary War.[1] ReferencesCitations1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Catalog/HeraldryMulti.aspx?CategoryId=9807&grp=2&menu=Uniformed%20Services|title=319th Cavalry Regiment Insignia and Coat of Arms Page|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=The Institute of Heraldry|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=28 July 2017}} Bibliography
