Two minor points if I may. First, it's simply a Greek cross, not a Greek Orthodox cross. A Greek cross is one which all four arms are the same length, as opposed to a Latin crossm, where the vertical part is longer than the horizontal part.

Also, by "Escruscion" do you mean "escutcheon"? That's simply fancy heraldic speech for "shield." The scroll at the bottom can simply be called the scroll or (more commonly, heraldically anyway) the "motto."

Actually, the star on the flag is angled wrong in those pictures. It should be tilted to point towards the upper right corner.

Also, thank about the cross. During New Member Ed we were told it was a Greek Orthodox Cross. I'm just repeating what I learned!

Just looked at the new member packets from last Spring and we wrote it as " Escusian" scroll. It probably is what you said. I need to look atom National docs.
