"Freedom Flyer" Cast Iron Eagle with 29" Wingspan for Mounting on House - https://youtube.com/shorts/sXmQaqRbAJw?si=tlLcjsn5GjkF_fQY - The tradition of hanging eagle plaques above a home's front door, garage, or other parts to indicate that the homeowner is debt-free, including mortgage debt, is called the "freedom flyer". The tradition began around World War II when American soldiers returned home and took advantage of the G.I. Bill, which provided veterans with funds for housing, unemployment insurance, and college. The eagle is often associated with freedom, and homeowners with this decoration are said to be "free" from mortgage debt.
