Happy 4th of July, AMERIKA!
- July 4, 2009 -NEW YORK — The first visitors allowed into the Statue of Liberty’s crown in nearly eight years began the arduous climb Saturday on an Independence Day journey laden with symbolism of freedom and national pride.”I feel like I was just born today,” said Andrea Balfour, 38, as she prepared to ascend the 354 steps with her daughter, Mona. Mona won an essay contest to get to go up to crown Saturday _ her 13th birthday.
The visit was the Staten Island pair’s “biggest dream,” Balfour said.
The statue was closed to the public after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The base, pedestal and outdoor observation deck were reopened in 2004, but the crown remained off-limits.
