Why the bald eagle?
HIPOW selected the majestic bald eagle as a spiritual symbol. The eagle's strength and independence proves their survival instinct and perseverance. The feather of a eagle is a symbol of power that signifies honor and a connection between the Creator and the people. The eagle also symbolizes trust, honor, strength, wisdom, power, and freedom.
