Anyone know a website where I can find the various Regimental Crests of US Artillery Regiments. I cannot find the crest of the 321st Field Artillery Regiment!!!!

I think that is the Battalion crest for 2nd Battalion 321st Field Artillery Regiment which is part of the 18th Fires Brigade (Airborne).  Which I believe has the crest below:

It said it was the crest for the 321st Field Artillery Reg which was a subordinate unit of 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division.
 
I take it the 321st you seek is another 321st?

I think you are correct DB, that may be the Regimental Crest.  I have only worked with the 3 Battalion however and they wear that crest with "Noli me Tangere" on it as the Badge on there Beret, I thought that was their Battalion Crest.  And they wear the Winged Cannon (Or Flying Dildo) on a sleeve.  But I have seen another patch which has some sort of Dragon on it which I thought was the regimental crest.  Basically Im all confused!!!!!

Dragon patch? You mean the XVIII Airborne Corps patch?
Sounds like you guys are mixing up the 82nd Fires Brigade with the 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd ABN DIV. Two different brigades that fall under the XVIII Airborne Corps (aka the "dragon patch").

The 321st Airborne Field Artillery Regiment is divided between these two brigades. The 82nd Fires BDE (aka Corps artillery) has the 1st and 3d battalions of the 321st.

4th BCT of the 82nd ABN DIV has the 2nd BN of the 321st AFAR.

Two different things, but both have battalions from the same FA regiment.
