Per ardua liberi: what does it mean?

The Sheriff's Auxiliary's Latin motto is 'per ardua liberi', roughly 'freedom through adversity', but there is more to its meaning than the word-for-word translation. What does it mean to us?

Our Symbols

The banner or device we use for the Lawrence County Sheriff's Auxiliary was originally created by Eric Vought in 2008 for an organization called the Statesmen For Our Constitutional Republic which had been created to explore many of the concepts of personal duty and community service which were eventually embodied in our organization. The device was carefully crafted to tie together and remind us of past examples of such service in order to guide our efforts. When the Auxiliary formed, the symbol was released for its use. The components of the banner have deep Christian and patriotic overtones, but it is primarily intended as an emblem of duty, service, and sacrifice.
