Explosions in stark blue turned into flames.  The fire burned so hot it seemed the very stars were melting.  Drops of blood flowed into the ashes.  But, even as the embers glowed, new life began. 

Our nation is made up of many peoples from different cultures.  In some cultures the crow represents the sun, the dawn, a new day.  The crow to the Native Americans is the creative principle.  The gold cleat upon which the crow stands signifies the economy, whereupon the ships of industry tie.    The crow stands  ready to fly;  his back to the devastation,  facing the bright future symbolized by white, the color of peace, purity and virtue.  His countenance is one of fierce determination.  Red is the color for war, anger, victory in battle.  Blue indicates calm authority.  Before the crow these colors level off and stretch out of sight into the future.
