October 28, 1886

It's the anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty!

This year we celebrate 115 years of Lady Liberty!

“Frederic Auguste Bartholdi’s famous sculpture, the stature of ‘Liberty Enlightening the World’, was dedicated on Bedloe’s Island in New York Harbor with the following sonnet by Emma Lazarus:

“Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

"Happy Anniversary" (edit)

The Little River Band
(D. Birtles/D. Briggs)

Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

But when I look back baby
When I look back to what we had
And I know I'm countin' good times
But there were just as many bad

And so I wish you
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

Oh, have a happy anniversary
'Cause I've got you on my mind
Always on my mind

Happy Anniversary
