The Bald Eagle was selected as the U.S.A.'s National Emblem by the country's founding fathers on June 20, 1782 at the Second Continental Congress. For over 200 years now, it has served as the pride of America's skies and the living symbol of all that Americans stand for: Freedom, Courage, Strength, Spirit, and Excellence.
A day for raising awareness for protecting the Bald Eagle, American Eagle Day encourages participants to adopt a bald eagle, to assist in the recovery of their natural environments, and to take part in educational outreach.
