I am pleased to report that today’s feature is open for business again since the government is no longer shut down. On this date in 1886, President Grover Cleveland dedicated the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. I had the privilege of visiting and going inside of this amazing structure back in May of 1992. I find it interesting and ironic that this was a gift from the people of France, and lately, we do not have the best relations with them.
