Made after the American Seal Eagle Symbol:
About:
Eagle: The most prominent element on the Great Seal is the American bald eagle, which serves as the national bird and a symbol of strength and freedom. The eagle is depicted clutching a bundle of thirteen arrows and an olive branch in its talons. These symbols represent the dual nature of the United States as a nation that values both peace and the ability to defend itself.
The Great Seal was officially adopted by the Continental Congress on June 20, 1782. The design underwent several revisions before reaching its current form, with contributions from notable figures like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Charles Thomson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, played a crucial role in developing the final design.
The Great Seal is used for various official purposes, including on the President of the United States' flag, on federal buildings and monuments, and on important government documents. It is an enduring symbol of the United States and its core values, including liberty, unity, and strength. less
