Who are we?
We are a team of three dedicated men looking to change how Americans think about 'Made in USA'. We are all three Sons of the Revolution with American Bloodlines back to before the founding of our Country. We live here, we thrive here and we will die here.
What is a Lictor?
Lictors were highly trained and armed citizens in the Roman Republic responsible for safeguarding civilian oversight of government. Lictors carried a fasces, an axe in a bundle of wooden rods, that symbolized their authority. In modern times the fasces has been used as both a symbol of fascism and republican/democratic governments. The fasces can be found flanking the Speaker of the House pulpit in the US House of Representatives and on the Mercury Dime.
Lictors disappeared when Rome became an Empire largely replaced by the corrupt and 'loyal to the Emperor' Praetorian Guard.
Our vision of an American Lictor are men and women who are dedicated heart, mind and body to preserving and protecting our Nation. Those who will train and educate themselves and insert themselves into active roles improving their communities and Nation as a whole.
There is no easy way out of our current state of affairs, there must be a class of Americans who can step up and be better and lead by example.
