The Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States, has become a symbol of freedom and democracy. Located in New York Harbor, the statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886, and designated a National Monument on October 15, 1924. This stamp is a new addition to the many images of the Statue of Liberty on U.S. postage stamps. |
