According to Eagles.org, “in 1995, at the request of the American Eagle Foundation, President Bill Clinton and Tennessee Governor Don Sundquist each recognized the first American Eagle Day.
Since then, Governors from a combined total of 49 states have signed Proclamations or Letters of Recognition giving our National Bird, the Bald Eagle, its own “official day” in their state!
Until American Eagle Day was established, there had never been a “national day” set aside to annually recognize our country’s inspirational national bird and the role that it has played in our lives, past and present.
Together, we can make June 20th an annual day to remember and commemorate this majestic and important American symbol.”
This Father’s Day weekend BladenOnline would like to celebrate another important inspiring Eagle… the Eagle Scout.
Thank you to all the Eagle Scouts who continue to make a positive impact on our communities.
