"Perhaps now more than ever, we Americans realize and cherish the freedoms that we enjoy on a daily basis. The vision for this incredible country has always been freedom – freedom to soar to our highest potential, unfettered and unbound by those who prefer oppression and control. America is truly a beacon – where humanity, made up of all races and creeds of the world, can come together, unite and enjoy the privilege of working and playing, worshiping and dreaming as we wish. As we continue to raise and teach our children the necessity and value of our freedoms, may we look forward with renewed strength and courage. May we fly upward on eagle’s wings, renew our vision and truly become all that we might be!" Gary Lee Price
"On The Wings Of Freedom" features an eagle in mid-flight, with its wings spread wide and its beak open mid-cry. The eagle is intricately detailed, with textured feathers and a powerful, dynamic pose showcasing movement and strength. The eagle holds an American flag in its talon that flows and curves around the lower part of its body. The flag is depicted with realistic folds and the traditional stars and stripes, each element painted with care to respect the iconography of the American flag. The sculpture is mounted on a simple, solid base, which anchors the piece and gives it a sense of permanence and stability. The overall impression is one of patriotism and the embodiment of American ideals through the symbolic power of the eagle and the flag.
