America’s National Coat of Arms – Part 1

By

Leading up to our favorite holiday July 4th, we thought we would share some fascinating United States symbols you probably never noticed. Take a look on the back of a $1 bill and in the left circle you will see a picture of a pyramid. It was designed in 1782 and called America’s National Coat of Arms.

At its base are the Roman numerals MDCCLXXVI. They stand for 1776 the year America was founded. A pyramid is historically recognized as a symbol of strength and durability. This pyramid contains thirteen layers of stone referring to the original thirteen colonies.

Check back tomorrow for more American Coat of Arms dollar bill secrets.

4th of July Thank You

By

On a personal note, I live next door to a surviving D-Day veteran from World War II. I thank him all the time for his heroics. I let him know that if it weren’t for brave people like himself, we would all be speaking either German or Japanese right now. Thank you Seth and all the people that have given their lives for what we will be enjoying this weekend. Have a happy and safe 4th of July.

4th of July Weekend

By

On this 4th of July weekend, please take a moment to thank a veteran or anyone that has served our country. The United States of America would not continue to have birthdays without them. It is because of these men and women, that we are able to have such fine celebrations as the ones this weekend.
