When the Air Force wanted an eagle sculpture, they found that Peggy had already created one for the local VA.
The Eagle is posed in a mantled position, with its wings partially folded to shield its young or food.  This is a defensive posture that symbolizes the protection of freedom.  The bird is also tilted to convey its readiness for flight symbolizing  readiness to protect  freedom.

"The price of liberty is eternal vigilance." James Madison
