I got ahold of our Pipe Sargent this morning and he confimed that it is "Honor Our Fallen" before I had a chance to check here. Thanks for the help.
Yes Galician it does seem a bit grim but, our band's creation was instituted by the County Sheriff with a mainly memorial and civic function in mind, as a means of honoring our own in the dept. It was the Sheriff's decision at the time to make our motto "Honor Our Fallen". He writes the checks for supplies! But he has given us more latitude to do other functions and we get paid for it as a band so our budgetary impact is very little now.
Thanks everyone,
Brad
