In Patriae Discrimine Fideles
is the phrase represented on PHS' honour roll. Here is one person's attempt to find an appropriate English translation.
in in, on, at (space); in accordance with/regard to/the case of; within (time) into; about, in the midst of; according to, after (manner); for; to, among
patriae father's, paternal; ancestral; native land; home, native city; one's country

Taking one from column A ... how about:

"Faithful in the midst of one's country's crisis."  

Latin scholars with a more accurate (or more elegant) translation are invited to let us know.
