Michael Anthony O'Brien

Shield: Gules a lion rampant guardant, in pale per pale Or and Argent., holding a sword Argent, pommel and hilt Or.

Crest: On a wreath issuing out of a cloud, a naked arm, embowed, brandishing a sword Argent, pommel and hilt Or.

Irish Motto: "Dualgas, Oineach, Tír" - "Duty, Honour, Country".

** The helmet normally designates Knighthood. There are two types of Knighthood:
1. Knights of nobility who own land.
2. Soldiers who do not own land but are Knights because of their military profession.
These latter Knights are referred to as Sargeants. As a military soldier for 23 years and retiring as a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer in the rank of Sergeant First Class, I have assumed this designation of Knighthood. I do not however, use the title of Knight (or Kt) as that would be conferred upon by royalty.
