What makes us “American”? What reminds us of our proud heritage? What patriotic symbols do we most closely associate with our national identity and culture? For some, the bald eagle is the classic American symbol. To others, the singing of the national anthem sparks the most national pride. Still others view national landmarks as places where our nation’s history is best kept alive and well. From mottoes to music, flags to famous figures, statues to historic sites, there are many ways that Americans have preserved our nation’s unique history and spirit. As you read this book, we think you’ll agree: Americans have a lot to be proud of!
