For God & Country
3 possible interpretations/leads
Pro aris et focis is a Latin phrase used as the motto of many families, military regiments, and some educational institutions meaning For God and country or literally "For altars and hearths", but is used by ancient authors to express attachment to all that was most dear and venerable. It could be more idiomatically translated "for hearth and home;" as the Latin term "aris", generally refers to either the altars of the spirits of the house (the Lares) and is often used as a synecdoche for the family home. Thus the famous Latin orator and philosopher Cicero uses the phrase to emphasize the importance of his argument in his philosophical work De Natura Deorum(3.40).
1.) Secret Society
Pro Aris et Focis is the name of a secret society in Brussels in 1789 which prepared the Brabant Revolution against the Austrian Emperor Joseph II. The leading figure was Jan-Baptist Verlooy.
2.) Motto of institutions
"For God and country" is the motto of the American Legion.
3.) Raid of Osama bin Laden
In May 2011, the phrase "For God and country" was used as a confirmation signal by U.S. Navy SEALs during the death of Osama bin Laden in Abottabad, Pakistan. On his radio, the U.S. Navy SEAL responsible for killing bin Laden reported over a radio, “For God and country, Geronimo, Geronimo, Geronimo.” After a pause, he added, “Geronimo EKIA” (enemy killed in action).
Should we be looking into the secret society?
Are we the American Legion?
Is it a sign the Navy SEALs are talking to us?
Is it something else?
What are we missing?
Everything had meaning.
