I have a patch from RTF Dam Neck that has a Latin phrase on it. I am curious if anyone knows the translation of the phrase or the original intent on using the phrase on the patch? I have tried some of the online Latin translation websites, but cannot seem to get a good translation.

AD PROGREDIENDAM SCIENTIAM NOVAM PROFICIENDEMOUE

Not sure about that last word though. Have used it as a whole word with no translation, but if I separate the last three letters it could be PROFICIENDEM OUE, or it could actually be PROFICIENDEM QUE with a "Q". It's difficult to read because of the colors fading. But that last one actually translates as "new sheep"...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Peggy,

Google translates it as "Science proficiency and progress of the new breed"

MOUE is a separate word.

Sounds about right as "sheep" though.

Cheers,

Greg
