The article below is what inspired me to do my Annalee Statue of Liberty Doll
Dear Friends,
September 11, 2001 is a day as a nation we will remember. Like Pearl Harbor , the Challenger explosion, the assassination of JFK, we will remember where we were.
Tuesday I was at Liberty Island . I watched in horror as the first plane dove into the World Trade Center buildings. With shock and dismay I stood there unable to help or move. A few minutes passed until we were able to hear the faint sounds of emergency crews responding to the crisis. Hope for the survivors filled my heart.
Then the second plane came crashing in and a wave of nausea rolled over me, my knees grew weak. I watched from Liberty , a place I considered my home. Flames belched from the second tower. Tears clouded my eyes and made it hard to see.
Later I over heard someone say that another plane had crashed in Washington killing more. Another hijacked plane had crashed in Pennsylvania . Four planes in all.
Then before my eyes the towers collapsed like a glass house, trapping rescue workers and victims alike. Still, I was unable to help. I was at work and could not leave. Anger and sadness grew inside as black smoke rose from the wreckage and yet I could not help those who were trapped.
That's when I realized that these people were succeeding if they were able to stop me from doing my job, what I had been placed on the island to do. Storing my anger and sadness away, I returned to my duties.
And as I stood there unmoving, I held my torch higher, my back grew straighter, and my crown glistened in the sun.
What is my job you ask? I am the Statue of Liberty and I welcome all who come to this country seeking peace and freedom. I am also a symbol to all those who have died to keep that beacon alive. I now count those who perished on September 11th among those honored souls. I will always stand here as a symbol of their lives.
My fellow citizens, join me by helping me bear the torch of freedom by standing tall in the face of adversity.
In God We Trust,
Lady Liberty
I'd like to thank all you that have taken the time to call or email with your enthusiasm and excitement upon receiving the Statue of Liberty.
"I received my Statue of Liberty doll today and I love it. My 14 year old son made the comment that it is the coolest Annalee doll I have received. He is not into the dolls, but thought it was cool anyway. I hope that I get a granddaughter who will appreciate them in years to come." Karen in Cleves, OH"
"Sue, Thank you, they arrived safely yesterday and are beautiful. My dad is going to love his, as his dad came in thru Ellis Island in the 40's to the USA.
Many thanks, KIM "
"The Annalee's are beautiful. You did a wonderful job with the design and construction of all of them. I am so glad I got the Statue of Liberty.
She is so much better than the picture, even my husband was impressed"

"I received my Annalee Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty last week
and I would like to thank you for all the time and effort you put into
designing these dolls. The Statue of Liberty is outstanding. I have been
an Annalee collector for several years and I must say "the Patriotic dolls
are some of my favorites. Thanks again for all your hard work."
