The Americas Pride piece created by Rod Mench was made to honor our beautiful country and the Soldiers that risk their lives’ serving and protecting it, and our freedom. The Bald Eagle has always been a symbol of American Pride and the Soldier on this statue represents the millions of Soldiers who have sacrificed throughout the history of the American military. The Bald Eagle is a stoic and independent animal just as America is a free and strong country. Additionally, this item features a small "plaque" that can be used for displaying a variety of small awards and embellishments.
