National American Eagle Day is celebrated each year on June 20th. This day is set aside to honor the national symbol of America. Bald Eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States of America, and it also appears on its seal.
In 1995 at the request of the American Eagle Foundation, President Bill Clinton and Tennessee Governor Don Sundquist both recognized the first American Eagle Day. From then, the Governors from a combined total of 49 states have signed proclamations or letters of the Recognition for giving the National Bird the Bald Eagle. It is celebrated as giving honor to the National Symbol.
