Turkey in the Straw Variations

Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird. I am glad that he was voted down. The eagle referred to as the thunderbird by native Americans is the symbol of the swiftness of God Justice as well as of America.
The eagle also represents St. John, the Evangelist.
The U.S. Postal Service also uses the eagle to represent the swiftness of mail delivery.
( Only a mail truck can go through a red traffic light. Ambulances and fire trucks cannot legally, but do to save human life.)
