Just slightly.

fact789, "one year and a score ago" is 21 years ago. I don't believe the Statue of Liberty was presented in 1985. (Hint: a score is 20.)

The proper wording would be: "six score ago." That would be 120 years ago, which would be 1886--the year France presented the Statue of Liberty to the USA.

In the context of time, that's really not long, is it? Hard to believe something so a part of our identity once never existed on our shores. Easy to take that masterpiece for granted, isn't it? Thanks for the reminder.

In the context of our country's life time we've had it for a little longer than half it's lifetime.

She symbolizes alot, but her timing couldn't have been better since it was right around this time when we began receiving new citizens and our ancesters from all over Europe. What a symbol of hope she was for them then and for all of us now!
