Growing up in New York City, the Statue of Liberty always filled me with awe. She was huge, GREEN and such an iconic symbol of liberty, of America of New York. I remember when she had the scaffolding around her while being renovated it made me sad, like Lady Liberty was “sick.” I was I think 12 years old back then and really disappointed that I couldn’t go up to the top. When the renovation was done, the scaffolding removed and full access to Lady Liberty was restored, it felt like all was right again.

The Statue of Liberty represents the light of the American Dream kept burning around the clock for all who yearn for a chance to succeed through individual initiative, which is what built the United States of America into the envy of the world.

(and kind of neat to see aircraft near her – I’ve flown around her several times and it’s truly a sight to behold)

Lady Liberty is testament to our country’s devotion to democracy and freedom, as well as France’s deep appreciation for what a society could do, and inspired them to do as well. I for one do not, and never will, consider them cowards – even with WWII. The French people took a stand against a monarchy that left them bereft of hope, starving, and with no other option. That they gave us this, as a gesture of hope and brotherhood, makes me weep every time I see it. My thanks to all who gave all, and all who gave what they could.
