What Image Best Symbolizes the USA?

What Image Best Symbolizes the USA?

Depending on individual's personal choices images can symbolize nations.  For example, in my opinion, examples could be that the Taj Mahal symbolizes India, a red maple leaf symbolizes Canada, a kangaroo symbolizes Australia.  There is no doubt in my mind that a nation's flag would symbolize that nation best perhaps in more cases than not, but ESPECIALLY I believe that the Stars and Stripes would be the first choice of an image most Americans would choose to symbolize their nation.  Second to that would probably  be the Statue of Liberty. 

But other than those two, what image do you think would best symbolize the USA?

Here are examples of images from which I am asking the NT members to indicate their choice would be the third best image to symbolize the USA.  Here are some examples from which to choose.

The White House

I'm a Canadian, so before I say what my choice would be, I'll wait to see what Americans say.

As in the 10 images, the dollar bill was a definite possibility

I think the ones you listed are a part of it for many people.

"We Can Do It" may be the one for many people, but perhaps not for younger ones (particularly if they aren't familiar with U.S. history during WWII).

In keeping with the rules I would say the Declaration of Independence.  Going against the rules something with a bald eagle.

You're absolutely right.  I MEANT to include the bald eagle on the list and I forgot.  I'm going to add it now.

I also forgot to use this as a symbol.  It's becoming morfe and more plausible.

True.

But perhaps even better-- why not something like an AK-47?

That's an unfortunate truth, but I didn't want to rub it in.
