The phrase "H-Minus" signifies the Regiment's readiness prior to the start of the operation, or "H-Hour".

http://www.505thpantherassociation.org/history.html

On June 6, 1944, at 3 a.m., 505th Paratroopers were landing on the Normandy Peninsula for the regiment’s third combat jump. It was one of the first airborne units to hit the ground, and it liberated the first town in France, St. Mere-Eglise. The paratroopers jumped prior to the actual start of the invasion – "H-Hour". Because of that tradition, of being the first into the fight, the 505th motto is "H-Minus".

Area Support Group located in Oklahoma. It was unwritten but literal: Never tell us we can't get it.

We were never asked how. We went in the box at Polk, too.

G..D... Reservists is what everybody else called us.

Transferred to a MP unit in MO and we were mobilized to GTMO second unit up - two weeks training at Dix in February and fly out with with sleet on the ground and land in our Goretex sleeves down for the night shift upgrading to 300 detainees. 92 degrees sun index of 10+.

"We Have The Key."

Literally.

Mine was the unit crest and very official. Not sure if I have one running around to grab a picture. The unit is gone I think due to post cold war downsizing. I know the kaserne is closed.

I'm fairly certain that's the case with most unit slogans. It's usually not said with sincerity, or with any enthusiasm.

The motto of my Dad's old Regiment is "Stand Fast".

From Wikipedia:

The 155th Infantry is one of only nineteen Army National Guard units with campaign credit for the War of 1812, and the only one from a state west of the Appalachians.[citation needed] It has credit for the Florida (1814) and New Orleans Campaigns.

155th Infantry Regiment fighting in Buena Vista, Mexico, February 23, 1847
They were known as the "Mississippi Rifles" under the command of Colonel Jefferson Davis in the war with Mexico. They acquired this nickname because the regiment was the first in American history to have an official issue rifled musket (M1841 Mississippi Rifle) instead of a smoothbore musket. It was at the Battle of Buena Vista when other American units began to be overrun by the Mexicans that Col. Davis gave the order, "Stand fast, Mississippians!" The regiment stood their ground and the battle was eventually won. Davis' order later became the regimental motto.
