Hi Mel!
Thanks for sharing this picture — it is an AWESOME reminder of why people come to this amazing country of ours! I don’t know if he was in this picture or not, but my grandfather served in WWI; he was born in 1898 and lied about his age so he could join the battle! Thanks for your blogs, they are always on point!
Thanks, Peggy. It sounds like your grandfather was a true patriot!
Nice pictures, good lesson in history. Indeed, its hard to imagine, but the statue was a bright bronze color at one point instead of the rusted over green it is now.
Thanks gold price. Your comment ended up in my spam filter, probably because of the link associated with your name. But I appreciate the point you’re making, so I’ve unspammed you.
