With courage and keep up,
Americans always succeed!

Yes, we can!


An example of keep up and courage for all Americans
in a once-in-a-lifetime event captured on film.


Here, a duck swims leisurely on a lake.
A Bald Eagle descends from the sky.


The small duck watches as the Eagle comes straight in at about 40 mph.
With perfect timing, the duck dives and escapes with a big splash.


Then it pops to the surface as soon as the Eagle flies past.
This gets repeated over and over for several minutes.


A second Eagle joins the attack!
The duck keeps diving just in time.
The Eagles dive into the water after it.


After several minutes the Eagles get frustrated and begin to attack each other. They
begin to dive vertically, level out, and attack head-on in a good old-fashioned game
of high-speed 'Chicken'. Sometimes they bank away from each other at the very
last second. At other times they climb vertically and tear into each other while
falling back toward the water. The duck catches its breath off to the side.


Then, with perhaps some miscalculation and at 100 mph, a
head-on collision occurs between the two Bald Eagles.


One Eagle stays aloft and flies away, but the other lies motionless in a crumpled heap.
The downed Eagle wiggles, flaps and struggles mostly underwater. He finally works
to get his head above water, and then with great difficulty manages to get airborne.


The bedraggled Bald Eagle circles and then lites atop a nearby fir tree.
With a six-foot wingspread he looks ruffled and angry. In some ways
this beleaguered Eagle symbolizes America in its current recovery.


As always, given time to recover ... good as new!

Recover? Yes, we can!

 

Keep up, America!
