...Is Cast aluminum on 1/3 of a yard of concrete. 10 feet to the top of the torch (when light cover is on) and 7 feet to her crown. My neighbors are impressed. :D :D

Actually I bought it in Barberville FL at this very eclectic "flea market" on the way home from Biketoberfest. It's been in my backyard for 7 months.

And so am I ...... :up: Looks very good !!! Very patriotic !! :D

On a side note here ... last Memorial Day weekend, I noticed fewer and fewer folks are flying the American Flag. I think that I was the only one on my street that proudly displays the "Red, White, and Blue". And it is out on every national holiday, Flag Day, and any other day when I feel like it. :flag:

After 9-11, there was a rush on flags so that you couldn't even get one. Well, what happened ... Wazupwidis???? :shake:

This statue was on top of the Liberty National Life Insurance building in downtown Birmingham for many years until it was relocated to Liberty Park.

A bit larger than yours, but still, it would be cool if you hooked up the torch.
