Self-guided tour – Liberty Flag Pole

---

On Thursday, September 11, 2009, the citizens of Cuba, NY, dedicated a 150-foot flag pole, which they have dubbed the Liberty Pole, to commemorate the tragedy that befell our great Nation on September 11, 2001

“The Liberty Pole in Cuba will now stand for generations as a testament to the
enduring patriotism of a community and of the resiliency of the American
Spirit. Each day, our Nation’s flag will fly atop its mast, reminding both the
residents of Cuba, NY, and our Nation not only of the events of September
11, 2001, but of America’s ability to overcome adversity, to share in
sacrifice, to confront her enemies, and to build a brighter and more
prosperous future for her children. These qualities will ensure that our Nation
will always overcome tragedy, and it is these qualities that will forever make
our Nation great.”
