Description

President John F. Kennedy wrote to the Audubon Society: The Founding Fathers made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation.

The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America. The bald eagle has been the national bird of the United States since 1782, a symbol of pride and strength that earned it a place on the seal of the United States.  “The eagle displayed is the symbol of supreme power and authority, and signifies congress, and that the olive branch and arrows that it holds in its talons are the powers of peace and war” Library of Congress ⤵️ (https://lccn.loc.gov/2014000553?loclr=blogadm) ).
