The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to commemorate our Centennial Celebration of the Declaration of Independence. Soon the Statue of Liberty will celebrate her 100th year; also, it is in recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution. Over the years, the Statue of Liberty has grown to include freedom and democracy as well as this international friendship.

France, to commemorate the US centennial, not to mention a gesture of friendship between France and the US.
