Description and Symbols


The eagle’s right (or dexter) talon clutches an olive branch with 13 olives and 13 leaves to represent peace. The left (or sinister) talon clutches arrows which represent the need sometimes to go to war to protect the nation.

The eagle holds a ribbon bearing the words “E Pluribus Unum,” the motto of the U.S., which means “out of many, one.” The number 13 is used to represent the 13 original colonies.

A shield in front of the eagle has 13 red and white stripes, again representing the colonies, with a blue bar above, representing both the unity of colonies into one nation and Congress, which makes laws for all.

Above the eagle is a “glory Or” or halo of gold. In it are 13 white clouds, 13 white stars and many tiny stars. The 50 stars on a field of deep blue circle the eagle and represent the 50 states. The words, "Seal of the President of the United States" surround the seal on a tan field.

Thanks Cha, great thread.

everything I didn't know about the Presidential Seal tonight. And, that's one or two reasons why I love DU.

And, some say "13" is an unlucky number. Never thought so myself. Bakers dozen anyone?!

BOG

at the Pres Seal before.. just them.

BOG

It's a great feeling to learn something new. It keeps me young at heart.

Good find.

is so wanting this to end Peacefully as we all are.

and of course they will focus on the things that sound the most exciting or controversial. but never a full story or serious discussion.

if one reads they might get a better idea and know there were meetings and discussions going on for some time now.

know next to nothing. If it's fox it's less than zero.

So sad about America's devolution into celebrity ragdom.

"You get more with a kind word and a gun than you do with just a kind word".

My personal conviction says threatening violence is still violence. No guns for now, but the threat to the Syrian people had to be one more stress on top of what they already have and are suffering.

You should do marketing.

I must read.

My new M.O. now is BOG in the morning to start my day off right, then BOG in the evening to keep it right. Gives me sweet sleep, ending on a note of encouragement.
