Lady Liberty : the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

The French President and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg took part in a ceremony in anticipation of the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty on Thursday, September 22. The statue, which is a gift from France to the USA, will turn 125 on October 28. Read an article from the New York Times entitled: ‘Joyeux Anniversaire (un peu tôt), Lady Liberty’

and the poem :

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-tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

by Emma Lazarus

Remembering 9/11

Monday, September 12th, 2011

 

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10-years since the 9/11 attacks. Time flies.

It was a quiet afternoon and I was taking some time off when a friend called me on the phone and asked me to turn the TV on and see what was happening on TV. I remember thinking it was fake. It looked like a scene from a movie. Then I realised the horror and the tragedy.

Do you remember what you were doing when it happened?
