I don't mean a symbol as in an object but a symbol as a person. Do we need that symbol?

If I recall, you have the Bald Eagle, and people cannot be symbols. They are either leaders or martyrs.

The "symbol person" of America is already either Uncle Sam or Lady Liberty (Statue of Liberty).

However, Signora Liberty was made by the French, so it has to be Uncle Sam. Or your many talented actors. (Who I am sure have European bloodlines )

I think Uncle Sam is already a well-known symbol. And he isn't even very official.

Actually, America's break for Independence fueled French's revolution. The statue was a gift to America for that.

She was made by the french, but as a gift to the US and is generally associated with the US more than France.

the bloodline is irrelevant since there is no "American Bloodline" per se. Really, if you go back far enough, all there is is an African bloodline.

You're all wrong. The answer is no. We do not need a symbol.

Well, The Statue of Liberty is known as an American symbol, regardless of who made it. That's like saying we all own Chinese stuff because it's all made in China. So, no. Lady Liberty is an American symbol, and there are countless immigrant stories to back that one up.

Bald Eagle is another symbol. It doesn't have to be strictly American, but it is an American symbol. Uncle Sam is a legitimate American symbol though.

America is the melting pot. We don't have a bloodline, unless you count the American Indians. :P

The flag is the symbol this country deserves, but not what it needs.

This might be a stupid question, but what does that have to do with symbols for countries?

Our country should abolish the government and then we can have an Anarchy symbol.

The quote from batman about " the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs" was changed to

No... Our country shouldn't do that. Why the heck would they do that? And how the heck is that relevant to the topic of does our country need a symbol?
