Ummmm, I'm not trying to contradict you, but "In God We Trust" was NOT chosen by the Founding Fathers. It did not become the offical motto until 1956. The unoffiical motto before that was "E Pluribus Unum".
The first known reference to the phrase was in the poem which became our national anthem. The 4th stanza contains the phrase "In God is Our Trust".
Just thought I'd set the record straight.
And BTW, those squirrels are CUTE! What a great service you are a providing. They are going to be a major mess to clean up after as they grow up, but hopefully they will stick around after they are returned to the wild and provide years of enjoyment. Thank you so much for sharing.
