"In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States.

It was adopted as the nation's motto in 1956 as an alternative or replacement to the unofficial motto of E pluribus unum, which was adopted when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted in 1782.

For the Love of God is a sculpture by artist Damien Hirst produced in 2007.

It consists of a platinum cast of an 18th-century human skull encrusted with 8,601 flawless diamonds, including a pear-shaped pink diamond located in the forehead that is known as the Skull Star Diamond.

The skull's teeth are original, and were purchased by Hirst in London.

The artwork is a Memento mori, or reminder of the mortality of the viewer.

In 2007, art historian Rudi Fuchs, observed: 'The skull is out of this world, celestial almost.

It proclaims victory over decay.

At the same time it represents death as something infinitely more relentless.

Compared to the tearful sadness of a vanitas scene, the diamond skull is glory itself.' Costing £14 million to produce, the work was placed on its inaugural display at the White Cube gallery in London in an exhibition Beyond belief with an asking price of £50 million.

This would have been the highest price ever paid for a single work by a living artist.

The flag of the United States, often referred to as the American flag, is the national flag of the United States.

It consists of thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton (referred to specifically as the "union") bearing fifty small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows, where rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternate with rows of five stars.

The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 states of the United States of America, and the 13 stripes represent the thirteen British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and became the first states in the U.S. Nicknames for the flag include The Stars and Stripes, Old Glory, and The Star-Spangled Banner.
