“E Pluribus Unum
The United States of America (USA)
Is a meeting place
For peoples of varied backgrounds.

And from the Great Plains of Nebraska and Wyoming
To Maryland's Eastern Shore.

From the Great Lakes adjacent Minnesota,
To the Everglades of Southern Florida.

We are one.

From the corals
Off of California's coasts.

To the mountains
Of the Shenandoah, in Virginia.

We are one.

From the steel and concrete towers
Of New York City
To Liberty Bell
In Pennsylvania.

We are One.

Out of many:
A
single,
We've become.

Out of many:
A
single;

We are one.

As the many stones that make the Obelisk In Washington,
Many individuals
Make the United States Of America.
And the best of all the world
Is here with us.”

“When a company has ambitious plans
- be it launching a groundbreaking product, expanding into new markets, or acquiring a rival firm - it often requires a substantial infusion of capital. To secure this funding, they may turn to the bond market, issuing corporate bonds to investors.”
