We have found Armstrongs serving in prominent positions in our early
state and national history. They served because they believed in freedom and
were willing to sacrifice for it, without the blare of trumpets or the heralding to
the press agent. They served but without boasting of it. They toiled to make
better living conditions for themselves and for us, their children, not that they
might have honor of men; they had as their motto "Invectus Maneo" ( I will
remain unconquered ) this motto should be an inspiration to us to carry on
with renewed courage ever ready to suffer, if need be, for the right, so that
when we pass of the stage of action & have joined the great host whose name
we bear generations yet unborn may venerate the motto "Invectus Maneo."
