Today in history:

1885 - The Statue of Liberty arrives in New York City in sections aboard a French ship.





As a 9 year old child I immigrated into the United States from Europe. I remember standing on the side of the boat and seeing the Statue of Liberty - even though I did not understand her importance I was impressed by her majesty. I am so thankful for my freedom and liberty and that my father and mother choose to live in the United States.
