Birds of State
Enough eagles have flown into Albright’s collection to compose a whole flock. They include one found on a replica of the Presidential Seal. Eagles are a central theme as well in the Celebration of Freedom collage given to Albright by Governor Bill Richardson and his wife Barbara Richardson. The Ode to the Armed Forces pin was given to Albright from Mary Jo Myers, wife of General Richard Myers. General Myers was Albright’s military advisor at the time.
