SUBJECT: The Dollar Bill and what it ands for.....very interesting!
AND.... WHO WAS HAYIM SOLOMON?
ON THE REAR OF THE ONE DOLLAR BILL, YOU WILL SEE TWO CIRCLES.
TOGETHER, THEY COMPRISE THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES .
THE FIRST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS REQUESTED THAT BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND
A GROUP OF MEN COME UP WITH A SEAL. IT TOOK THEM FOUR YEARS TO
ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK AND ANOTHER TWO YEARS TO GET IT APPROVED.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEFT-HAND CIRCLE, YOU WILL SEE A PYRAMID.
NOTICE THE FACE IS LIGHTED, AND THE WESTERN SIDE IS DARK. THIS
COUNTRY WAS JUST BEGINNING. WE HAD NOT BEGUN TO EXPLORE THE WEST OR
DECIDED WHAT WE COULD DO FOR WESTERN CIVILIZATION. THE PYRAMID IS
UNCAPPED, AGAIN SIGNIFYING THAT WE WERE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING
FINISHED. INSIDE THE CAPSTONE YOU HAVE THE ALL-SEEING EYE, AN ANCIENT
SYMBOL FOR DIVINITY. IT WAS FRANKLIN\'S BELIEF THAT ONE MAN
COULDN\'T DO IT ALONE, BUT A GROUP OF MEN, WITH THE HELP OF GOD, COULD
DO ANYTHING.
\'IN GOD WE TRUST\' IS ON THIS CURRENCY.
THE LATIN ABOVE THE PYRAMID, ANNUIT COEPTIS, MEANS, \'GOD HAS
FAVORED OUR UNDERTAKING.\'
THE LATIN BELOW THE PYRAMID, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, MEANS, \'A NEW
ORDER HAS BEGUN.\'
AT THE BASE OF THE PYRAMID IS THE ROMAN NUMERAL FOR 1776.
(MDCCLXXVI)
IF YOU LOOK AT THE RIGHT-HAND CIRCLE, AND CHECK IT CAREFULLY, YOU
WILL LEARN THAT IT IS ON EVERY NATIONAL CEMETERY IN THE UNITED STATES
IT IS ALSO ON THE PARADE OF FLAGS WALKWAY AT THE BUSHNELL, FLORIDA
NATIONAL CEMETERY , AND IS THE CENTERPIECE OF MOST HERO\'S MONUMENTS.
SLIGHTLY MODIFIED, IT IS THE SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES , AND IT IS ALWAYS VISIBLE WHENEVER HE SPEAKS, YET VERY FEW
PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE SYMBOLS MEAN.
THE BALD EAGLE WAS SELECTED AS A SYMBOL FOR VICTORY FOR TWO REASONS:
FIRST, HE IS NOT AFRAID OF A STORM; HE IS STRONG, AND HE IS SMART
ENOUGH TO SOAR ABOVE IT. SECONDLY, HE WEARS NO MATERIAL CROWN. WE HAD
JUST BROKEN FROM THE KING OF ENGLAND ALSO, NOTICE THE SHIELD IS
UNSUPPORTED. THIS COUNTRY CAN NOW STAND ON ITS OWN. AT THE TOP OF THAT
SHIELD YOU HAVE A WHITE BAR SIGNIFYING CONGRESS, A UNIFYING FACTOR. WE
WERE COMING TOGETHER AS ONE NATION. IN THE EAGLE\'S BEAK YOU WILL
READ, \' E PLURIBUS UNUM\' MEANING,\'ONE FROM MANY.\'
ABOVE THE EAGLE, YOU HAVE THIRTEEN STARS, REPRESENTING THE THIRTEEN
ORIGINAL COLONIES, AND ANY CLOUDS OF MISUNDERSTANDING ROLLING AWAY.
AGAIN, WE WERE COMING TOGETHER AS ONE.
NOTICE WHAT THE EAGLE HOLDS IN HIS TALONS. HE HOLDS AN OLIVE BRANCH
AND ARROWS. THIS COUNTRY WANTS PEACE, BUT WE WILL NEVER BE AFRAID TO
FIGHT TO PRESERVE PEACE. THE EAGLE ALWAYS WANTS TO FACE THE OLIVE
BRANCH, BUT IN TIME OF WAR, HIS GAZE TURNS TOWARD THE ARROWS.
THEY SAY THAT THE NUMBER 13 IS AN UNLUCKY NUMBER.
THIS IS ALMOST A WORLDWIDE BELIEF. YOU WILL USUALLY NEVER SEE A ROOM
NUMBERED 13, OR ANY HOTELS OR MOTELS WITH A 13TH FLOOR. BUT THINK
ABOUT THIS:
13 ORIGINAL COLONIES,
13 SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE,
13 STRIPES ON OUR FLAG,
13 STEPS ON THE PYRAMID,
13 LETTERS IN, \'ANNUIT COEPTIS,\'
13 LETTERS IN \'E PLURIBUSUNUM,\'
13 STARS ABOVE THE EAGLE,
13 BARS ON THAT SHIELD,
13 LEAVES ON THE OLIVE BRANCH,
13 FRUITS,
AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY,
13 ARROWS.
AND FINALLY, IF YOU NOTICE THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE _ 13 STARS_ IN THE
RIGHT-HAND CIRCLE YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY ARE_ ARRANGED_ AS A <
/SPAN>_STAR OF DAVID_. THIS WAS ORDERED BY GEORGE WASHINGTON WHO,
WHEN HE ASKED HAYIM SOLOMON, A WEALTHY PHILADELPHIA JEW, WHAT HE WOULD
LIKE AS A PERSONAL REWARD FOR HIS SERVICES TO THE CONTINENTAL ARMY,
SOLOMON SAID HE WANTED NOTHING FOR HIMSELF BUT THAT HE WOULD LIKE
SOMETHING FOR HIS PEOPLE. THE STAR OF DAVID WAS THE RESULT. FEW PEOPLE
KNOW THAT IT WAS SOLOMON WHO SAVED THE ARMY THROUGH HIS FINANCIAL
CONTRIBUTIONS BUT DIED A PAUPER.
I ALWAYS ASK PEOPLE, 'WHY DON'T YOU KNOW THIS?' YOUR CHILDREN
DON'T KNOW THIS, AND THEIR HISTORY TEACHERS DON'T KNOW THIS. TOO
MANY VETERANS HAVE GIVEN UP TOO MUCH TO EVER LET THE MEANING FADE.
MANY VETERANS REMEMBER COMING HOME TO AN AMERICA THAT DIDN'T CARE.
TOO MANY VETERANS NEVER CAME HOME AT ALL.
NOW YOU KNOW WHAT IS ON THE BACK
OF THE
UNITED STATES ONE DOLLAR BILL,
AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR!
