I pursued many American dreams for the TODAY show, but this was a nightmare. We were suspended eighteen stories above New York Harbor on a thin metal ladder tilted between the pedestal and the big toe of the Statue of Liberty. She approached her Centennial riddled with rust. There are holes in her gown large enough to take pictures through. And that was what Peter B. Kaplan was doing. I was climbing with him. The odds were against me.

You climbed to new heights and was touched by the magnificence of Lady Liberty. Thank you for this inspirational story from decades ago on our welcoming symbol of freedom and democracy. God Bless America 🇺🇸
