E Pluribus Unum: from many, One. A well-known phrase to Americans, E pluribus unum is found on the Great Seal of the United States. Whether you see it as meaning from many states we formed a single nation or from many nations we emerged as a single people: when I pass by the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, California, I am reminded of the many who gave in service to keep us as one nation, undivided. One great people. One great land full of promise.
