Foreground: Flowing, golden wheat symbolizes the bountiful resources with which God has blessed the American continent. Soaring above the field of gold and the rippling reflection of the American flag, the proud and beautiful American eagle represents the ascent of the spirit made possible by liberty.
Middle and top: Blended into majestic purple mountains, the breast of the American eagle stands for this nation’s industrial might and immovable will. The red glow from behind the eagle’s breast radiates our readiness to guard the great arsenal of democracy. Subtly placed background eagles circle the sky to protect the nest of an everlasting principle. The primary eagle’s marbleized eye shines with the colors of our flag and of our hearts… colors that signify our determination, our vigilance and the never-ending battle we will endure to preserve our precious freedom.
