Ambassador Lee E Wanta
" We are not alone; we do not walk alone. ' We are part of the one flock of Christ that walks together." Pope Francis I
On the rear of the One Dollar Bill, you will see two circles. Together, they
comprise the Great Seal of the United States. The First Continental Congress
requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal.
It took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get
it approved.If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.
Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was
just beginning. We had not begun to explore the west or decided what we could
do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is uncapped, again signifying that
we were not even close to being finished. Inside the Capstone you have
the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin's belief
that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of
God, could do anything.'IN GOD WE TRUST' is on our USDollar currency.
The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means, 'God has favored our
undertaking'The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means, 'a new order has
begun.'At the base of the pyramid is the Roman numeral for 1776. (MDCCLXXVI)If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you will learn
that it is on every National Cemetery in the United States .
It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National
Cemetery , and is the centerpiece of most heroes' monuments.Slightly modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States ,
and it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what
the symbols mean.
The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons:
First, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to
soar above it.
Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of
England .
Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its
own.
At the top of that shield there is a white bar signifying congress, a unifying
factor. We were coming together as one nation.
In the Eagle's beak you will read, ' E PLURIBUS UNUM' meaning, 'from many -
one.'
Above the Eagle, we have the thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original
colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we
were coming together as one.Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows
This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve
peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of
war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.An (untrue) old-fashioned belief says that the number 13 is an unlucky number
This is almost a worldwide belief. You will almost never see a room
numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor. But think about this:America, which relies on God (not a number) to direct and lead, boldly chose -13 original colonies,
13 signers of the Declaration of Independence ,
13 stripes on our flag,
13 steps on the pyramid,
13 letters in 'Annuit Coeptis',
13 letters in ' E Pluribus Unum,'
13 stars above the eagle,
13 bars on that shield,
13 leaves on the olive branch,
13 fruits, and if you look closely,
13 arrows. And finally, notice the arrangement of the 13 stars in the right- hand circle.You will see that they are arranged as a Star of David. This was ordered by George Washington who,when he asked Haym Solomon, a wealthy Philadelphia Jew, what he would like as a personal rewardfor his services to the Continental Army. Solomon said he wanted nothing for himself, but he wouldlike something for his people. The Star of David was the result. Few people know it was Solomonwho saved the Army through his financial contributions...then died a pauper. Haym Solomon gave $25million to save the Continental Army, money that was sorely needed to help realize America our - Freedom and Independence from England, The British Empire .Therein lies Americas Judeo-Christian beginning.
Most American children do NOT know any of this.
They are not taught because their history teachers do NOT know this.
[They too, were NOT taught!]
On America's Total Freedom and Liberty :Too many veterans gave up too much to let this meaning fade.
Many veterans came home to an America that did not care.
Too many veterans never came home at all.
They served, they died for you and for me.America is at a critical juncture.
Let's do whatever we can to save her NOW!Thank you for caring for our Great Nation_America, Once a Constitutional Republic.
