READING
Read about one of the national animal symbols of the United States: the Bald Eagle.
The Bald Eagle is unique to North America and it used to be in danger of extinction. The Bald
Eagle was designated as the U.S.A.'s National Emblem on June 20, 1782 and it is the central
image used in the logos of many branches of the U. S. Government.
The symbol of the bird represents the values of Freedom, Courage, Strength, Spirit, Justice,
Quality and Excellence.

represent?
