Our national emblem is all around. Whether soaring above the countryside or looking forward from its painting on the postal van, the big bird reminds us of its power and grace.

The bald eagle has lived in North America for thousands of years and has been a witness to
many of the events in our country’s history. As the United States national emblem, this majestic bird is often depicted on postage stamps commemorating landmark events of the past.
Soar with the bald eagle as it competes for food with Native Americans, then watches the arrival of the first European settlers and the formation of a fledgling democracy.              Track its impact as a
symbol of peace and freedom in two of the country’s wars and at the first landing of Americans
on the moon. The art of U.S. stamps and graceful watercolor scenes enhance the dynamic,
interlaced stories of the resilience of this once-endangered species and the proud nation it represents.
