What is the importance of the Eagle of America?

[Lorenzo]

Answer:

The Eagle became the National emblem in 1782 when the great seal of the United States was adopted. The Great Seal shows a wide-spread eagle, faced front, having on his breast a shield with thirteen perpendicular red and white stripes, surmounted by a blue field with the same number of stars. In his right talon the eagle holds an olive branch, in his left a bundle of thirteen arrows, and in his beak he carries a scroll inscribed with the motto: "E Pluribus Unum."

The Eagle appears in the Seals of many of our States, on most of our gold and silver coinage, and is used a great deal for decorative patriotic purposes.

The bald eagle was chosen on June 20, 1782 as the symbol of America, because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks. The eagle, full of the spirit of freedom, living above the valleys, strong and powerful in his might, has become the national symbol of U.S.A.
