Since “the shot heard round the world” first rang out on April 19, 1775, untold millions of American men and women have given their all, risked their lives, and paid the ultimate price to defend liberty.
Another option is to make this eagle with a “blank eye” that looks more stylized
So in honor of Independence Day and all the American veterans and soldiers Princess YellowBelly Designs is proud to offer “Freedom Flight.”
An American bald eagle spreads his wings in flight, proudly displaying the stars and stripes in this patriotic wall hanging or table topper.
