​Today's Historical Moment
​... E pluribus unum ...
( say, what?! - is that a real thing ;)

[ The Great Seal of the United States of America = public domain image ]

E pluribus unum is Latin for "Out of many, one" - which could be interpreted to refer to our 13 colonies becoming united as one nation.  E pluribus unum was the traditional, unofficial motto of the United States of America appearing on the nation's Great Seal since the 1782 and first placed on coins in 1795.  It remained the motto until 1956, when Congress passed a resolution making "In God We Trust" as our nation's official motto.
In 1873, a law made it a requirement to inscribe E pluribus unum and "In God We Trust" upon all coins of the United States.

Tomorrow, Patriot (9/11) Day, is a fitting day to do a special Flag Ceremony and Pre-Pledge Tribute!!!
