Today we celebrate the strength, freedom, and pride the bald eagle represents.
A powerful symbol of America and the spirit to keep rising higher.
On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States, depicting a bald eagle grasping 13 arrows and an olive branch with 13 leaves.
Nearly 250 years later, we celebrate the bald eagle as the national symbol of American unity. πΊπΈ
