Why these guys?

• Each president was chosen for his role in the
  nation's birth and growth. George Washington
  signifies the struggle for independence and
  establishment of the Republic. Thomas Jefferson,
  author of the Declaration of Independence,
  signifies westward expansion. Abraham Lincoln
  signifies the permanent union of the states and
  equality for all citizens. And Theodore Roosevelt
  stands for progressive causes such as
  conservation and business reform.
