"Symbolically, the Great Seal reflects the beliefs and values the Founding Fathers attached to the new nation and wished to pass on to their descendants." US State Dept. 2003
Americans in general are confused or ignorant regarding the powerful national emblem their Founding Fathers provided them; as a result America suffers unnecessarily.
OUR MISSION: To honor America's Founding Fathers by promoting the meaning and utility of America's national emblem through programs that educate the public and apply the beliefs and values of our Founding Fathers to every day American life.
|
OUR VISION: To establish June 20 in perpetuity as America's National Great Seal Day and every American child recognize and understand the meaning of their national emblem.

OUR MOTTO: Beliefs and Values...Passed On

Founder’s Letter 12.14.2013
Dear Fellow American,
Concern for the future of our nation grips many Americans. National trust in fellow citizens and our institutions is rapidly dissolving in an acid bath of deceit. National civility has given way to partisan name-calling and mudslinging; polarizing and paralyzing a political process perceived, by many, to favor the rich.
It seems as though a dark spirit has descended unawares upon America. A fitting analogy would be a giant cruise ship sinisterly cut free of its moorings and her preoccupied passengers suddenly find themselves lost and adrift; confusion reigning while driven by indivisible winds. Lesser boats adrift gather round. Barely visible on the distant horizon is a lone beacon; its dim flicker barely visible to some, while not at all to others. Those who remember the peaceful and productive harbor the beacon presides over call upon the captain to sail against wind and wave to their only hope: The Great Seal of the United States.
“Symbolically, The Great Seal reflects the beliefs and values the Founding Fathers attached to the new nation and wished to pass on to their descendants.” US State Department 2003
I believe, along with many others, that America’s decline is the result of abandoning the beliefs and values of America’s foundation. Restoring the Great Seal to public awareness will serve to strengthen America’s crumbling foundations. Please join with me in moving our Congress to establish June 20 (that day in 1782 Congress approved the Great Seal) as America’s National Great Seal Day.
God bless you, yours, your work and the United States of America.
