The Beloved Bald Eagle, America, Passes Away at 35

A Symbol of Freedom and Resilience

EVIER COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT/Gray News) – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of America, a beloved bald eagle who captured the admiration of many as a participant in the Wings of America show at Dollywood. The American Eagle Foundation has reported that America passed away at the age of 35, leaving behind a legacy of strength and resilience.

A Life of Challenges

America, who was part of a bald eagle reintroduction program in Tennessee, faced numerous challenges throughout his life. Unfortunately, he sustained a wing injury from a gunshot wound, which hindered his ability to thrive in the wild. As a result, America was entrusted to the care of the American Eagle Foundation, where he became a beloved educational ambassador for his species.

A Heartfelt Goodbye

In recent times, America’s quality of life took a sharp decline due to inflammation of the heart. After careful consideration, the difficult decision was made to euthanize him peacefully. It is a heartbreaking loss for all who knew and loved America, but his suffering has now come to an end.

A Lasting Legacy

America’s majestic presence touched the hearts of countless individuals, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of experiencing him up close. To honor his legacy, a plaque will be placed inside the Wings of America Theater in Craftsman’s Valley, serving as a reminder of the impact he had on the world.

A Tribute from Dollywood

Dollywood, upon hearing the news of America’s passing, expressed their gratitude for the eagle’s role in the Wings of America show. His majestic appearance inspired many, providing guests with a unique opportunity to connect with America’s enduring symbol of freedom. In a statement, the park said, “For most guests, this was the closest they would be to America’s enduring symbol of freedom.”

A Heartfelt Farewell

As we bid farewell to America, we remember him as a symbol of freedom and resilience. His life was a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of protecting and preserving our nation’s wildlife. Though he may no longer grace the skies, his memory will forever soar in our hearts.
