What do you know about the Great Seal of the United states? You see it on the back of the one-dollar bill. It is used on some government documents, too. At the center of the seal you see the bald eagle. It is our national bird. In it's beak it holds a banner. In one claw it holds an olive branch, a symbol of peace. In it's other claw it carries arrows to symbolize war. We have a picture of the Great Seal in our classroom. I believe that it is a symbol of our country.
Hope this helps :)
