Love that you tied the Eagle to our American dreams. It is a beautiful image.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but beware the trump and Nazi eagles.

While the Eagle has been a symbol of United States for a couple of centuries including on the Seal of the President, and it was adopted as Germany's coat of arms in 1950, the eagle as a symbol for German Imperial Eagle traces back to Charlemagne and then back even further to the eagle as a symbol of the Roman army. The Eagle originally faced left toward the arrows. President Truman decided to change it to the right which is the proper heraldry direction which made it face to the olive branch of peace. It has been that way ever since.
