The Great Seal of United States of America was designed to reflect Founding Father’s beliefs and values and also sovereignty of new Nation. The coat of arms on front of great seal is symbol of United States of America and is depicted on dollar bill. Each element of seal’s design has a specific meaning. The color white signifies purity and innocence. Red represents hardiness and valor. Blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice. In eagle's beak is a scroll inscribed with Latin motto, E Pluribus Unum, “out of many, one.” In eagle’s right talon is an olive branch, and in his left a bundle of thirteen arrows. The eagle is facing toward olive branch symbolically reflecting our Nation’s desire for peace. The thirteen arrows represent thirteen original colonies and reflect our power and resolve as a people to fight for our values and personal freedom. In response to terrorists attack on this country, eagle is now turned facing arrows. The American Spirit will overcome this provocative threat to freedom and democracy. President Abraham Lincoln was certainly no stranger to hardship. Amidst death and destruction of civil war President Lincoln noted, “The only good thing about adversity is that it comes one day at a time.”
