Great Seal of the United States
In 1782, soon after the United States won the independence, the bald eagle was chosen as the national bird of the new country. American leaders wanted the eagle to be a symbol of their country because it is a bird of strength and courage. They chose the bald eagle because it was found all over North America.
Charles Thompson, the first official record keeper of the United States, recommended a design for the Great Seal of the United States on June 20, 1782.
The Congress adopted his suggestion that same day. The Great Seal became the official “signature” of the new nation. In 1782, the Great Seal of the United States was used for the first time by President George Washington on an official document. The Great seal is a stamp of promise that is adhered to each official document.
The bald eagle appears in the center of the Seal. In one claw is found an olive branch with 13 olives and 13 leaves. In the other claw are 13 arrows. The arrows and the olive branch
represent strength and peace. Іn the beak is a scroll inscribed with a Latin phrase which means that out of 13 colonies came one nation.
The national motto “In God We Trust” expresses the country’s ideals. It was adopted in 1956. It also appears on the reverse side of the one-dollar bill.

The National Flag
The Stars and Stripes is the most popular name for the National Flag of the US. Francis Scott Key first called it the Star Spangled Banner. After the declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress resolved on June, 1777 that “the flag of the US be 13 stripes alternate red and white in a blue field. Red is for courage, white is for purity and innocence, and blue is for vigilance and justice.” The stripes stand for 13 original colonies. There is no historical basis for assigning each star to a particular state. Presidential orders fixed the position of the stars in 1912 for 48 states and in 1960 for 50.
The US flag flies over the White House whether or not the president is in Washington, D.C. The US flag flies over the Capitol every day. The flag is customarily displayed from sunrise to sunset. When flown at night, it should be spotlighted. The US flag should be flown on legal public holidays and other special days.
