In God We Trust
This Sunday, we're reminding citizens that, in 1956, President Eisenhower signed a law that made "In God We Trust" the official motto. Prior to this, many considered "E Pluribus Unum," meaning "from many, one" in Latin, as the motto. That phrase is used within the Seal of the United States of America, as well as, coin and paper money since 1795.

"In God We Trust" was first stated in "The Star-Spangled Banner" - written by Francis Scott Key in 1814.
The final stanza says:
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And, "In God We Trust," first appeared on American currency in 1864.
