There are many U.S.A. symbols that represent how we feel and think about our country (Click here to watch a video). But did you know our founding fathers couldn't decide on a bird for our national symbol. Benjamin Franklin wanted a turkey and everyone else wanted an eagle. In your opinion which would you rather have a turkey or an eagle as a national symbol of America?
