Research by Leah Christian, a student of Latin studies on Fullers family crest has indicated the following:

	Fuller is the name of the crest for the Fuller family
	"Semper Paratus" is Latin for “Always Prepared” which is also the motto of the United States Coast Guard
	The hand represents faith, sincerity, justice
	The arm represents laborious, industrious
	The sword represents just, generous in pursuit of honor and virtue in warlike deeds
	The cannon – well bestowed on those who have dared battle
	The head represents honor
	The castle represents solidity and grandeur

The lines in the shield may represent many things including:

	Nebulee/Nebuly – Sea
	Engrailed – Earth
	Indented – Fire
	Dancette – Water
	Ragulee/Raguly – Difficulties Encountered
	Embattled – Fire/the Walls of a Fortress or Town
