Some are born to be Eagles, to spread their wings and fly, with strength and perseverance, continuing reaching toward the sky. Others will be as Lions, standing tall, proud, and free, their faith and determination casting a light for all to see. The Rams will stand on mountain tops, greeting the dawn of each new day, prepared to meet whatever obstacles that should dare to block their way. They all stand before the rising sun, with a sense of pride that stands the test, that challenges all who dare to dream, to dare become the best.
