Total Eclipse of the Sun!
On Monday August 21, 2017, the biggest and best solar eclipse in American history is coming soon to a sky near you. On average, a total eclipse is visible from any one spot on Earth about once every 375 years. That puts fewer than 1 in 1,000 people has ever seen a total eclipse of the sun. The average speed of the moon's shadow as it races from the West Coast to the East is 1,700 mph!
Will Miss Liberty see the eclipse? She will be shaded when 72% of the sun is blocked but she's 571 miles NE of Path of Totality. Enjoy the moment safely if you are anywhere in North America.

The Privilege of U.S. Citizenship
usnews.com
Hardworking immigrants arrive in the United States looking for shelter and opportunity.
It’s Constitution Day and Citizenship Day in the USA! Every year on September 17, we commemorate the signing of the United States Constitution in 1787. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which sets aside a week to celebrate our history and reflect on what it means to be a U.S. citizen, will welcome more than 30,000 new citizens during more than 200 naturalization ceremonies between September 15 and September 22 in honor of this commemoration. Which of your immigrant ancestors was the first to become a naturalized American? #ConstitutionDay
The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. is with Statue of Liberty National Monument.
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most admired figures in the world, no question. But for such a popular Lady, she’s had a variety of caretakers. The U.S. Lighthouse Board was responsible for her until 1901. Next came the War Department, which tended to her until 1933. That’s when Lady Liberty was transferred to the National Park Service, which continues to look after the Statue today. #NPS
