Great Seal of the United States - Symbol of National Authority and Unity #1617094 (License: Personal Use)

The Great Seal features a bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch (symbolizing peace) in its right talon and thirteen arrows (representing readiness for war) in its left. Above the eagle is a radiant constellation of thirteen stars encircled by clouds, with the Latin motto “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of Many, One”) on a banner. The shield on the eagle’s chest displays red and white stripes over a blue chief with white stars-echoing the U.S. flag-and signifies Congress’s authority.
