"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!"
(By Emma Lazarus, 1883)

I believe that this poem represents the freedom of our country. The statue of liberty was given to the U.S. in 1886 by the french as a token of friendship. The stuatue is standing tall on liberty island in the middle of the Hudson River in New York City Harbor. I personally have not seen it, but hopefully one day i'll get to.
