Guy's... Let me be the first to inform you on the League of the Iroquois! I will post the source and you will all be surprised to know that our founding Fathers were so influenced by the Indians occupying the North American Continent, that they adopted their political and Moral practices and founded the principals of what we now call the United States of America a long long time ago! The 6 arrows on the Seal of the US makes reference to the 6 Indian Nations that provided the concepts for our Great Country! RickieB
yea that was an answer i searched for over 3 hours and was not able to find it for the 6 arrows i even went to my old coins apparently none were minted with 6 arrows on them?
same here. the only referance i got for the 6 arrows was that the die he copied was very worn. There was a referance to the indians, but NOT in relation to the arrows - at least not in the research i read into.
Thanks RickieB - You put me in good graces with my wife again knowing I got something for all of the research I did this weekend . (it was worth the flack as the topics were good US history lessons! It really was interesting!!! I did more reading today on the subject than I hope my boss ever learns I did !!! I look forward to learning the answer you were specifically looking for. The entire thing made me a little nervous running the searches I did. Feel like I showed up on someones radar :kewl: for "key words" used in internet searches! Hope THEY are not listening
Daryl .. i work for the Govt! imagine what radars i will apear on for those same keyword searches but then again.. if i wasnt already ON their radar.. then they were sleepingo n the job
LOL - With my former clearance I'm sure that just added fuel to the fire! Spent 6 years having guys in suits tell me everyone is listening to everything I say. They would just show up every 6 to 12 months and remind us! Clancy reinforced how easy it was to pick up classified info in New London! Got to love a job that requires your grade school teaches to answer questions to agents with badges . Wish I could have been a fly on the wall!!! Someone in a suit shows up to work tomorrow - I'm going out the back door! I'll be hiding at De Orcs in Brazil - looks nice and warm - I work cheep! (silver and old copper is acceptable)
hold the phone ... we can submit MORE then 1 answer?? and here i spent hours trying to fidn the one that was most correct :headbang:
Daggerjohn...LOL Thats funny... Spock and USS656 submitted answers so close to the point I was trying to make. I realized that the theories that they were reading were falling along the same ties as the one I was researching! Goes to show you that there is really never a steadfast answer in anything except mathamatics! For crying out loud, I will better research this next time!! ROTFL... RickieB
now mathmatics.. there is a sport with no grey lines. i would have much much better chances at that one give me a red a blue and a green square and ask me to find the green one.. i can do that .. ask me why it feels green ... shoot.. i havent a clue
