  1. It's America's symbol bird. Am I the first to point that out?


  2. it symbolizes terrorism. because thats what eagles do, terrorize creatures smaller than them, then devour them. im sure we can all draw parallels to america's behaviour with weaker countries.

  3. It was put there by the same people who put in the 'eye in the pyramid' symbol.

    It is not an eagle, it symbolises the Egyptian god HORUS, who bestowed divinity on the Pharoah.  Thus, America will see the day when its people have to worship their president as a God.

  4. The American Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol with the power to bridge heaven and earth in victory: The eagle is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to soar above it

    Above the Eagle, you have thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one.  These symbols are taken from the American flag and officially, the red represents hardiness and valor, the white represents purity and innocence, and the blue, vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

    Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.
