We are excited to share the Freedom issue of Ma Belle Vie with you as
we celebrate our nation's independence on July the Fourth each year.
My first encounter with “Freedom” was when my parents first brought me
to the Liberty Island when I was only 12.
Being a former Lyonnais, I am proud of the strong bond between the French and the American people for over 126 years. In recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, a young French sculptor was commissioned to design the Lady Liberty with her seven spikes crown symbolizing liberty spreading across the seven seas. In her left hand was a tabletof the Declaration of Independence and in her right hand a torch symbolizing enlightenment. On October 28, 1986, the Statue of Liberty National Monument officially celebrated her 100th birthday as a symbolism of freedom, democracy and international friendship.
We feature the 200th commemoration of the War of 1812 and the penning of the “Star Spangled Banner”. The Memorial Museum in Tuscon, AZ, kept the legacy alive of the 390th Bombardment Group.
Issues of veterans’ mental health and homelessness are vital concerns
in our country and as citizens, we can, in our small way, help those in need.
