This is a sculpture called "The Day The Wall Came Down: A Monument to
Freedom," by sculptor Veryl Goodnight. It's located next to the George Bush Library and Museum on the Texas A&M campus. Those are actual pieces from the
Berlin wall used in the sculpture. The wild mustangs (cast in bronze) trampling over the
rubble of the collapsed wall symbolize the triumph of freedom over
tyranny. I took this pic on Friday July 4th while attending an Independence Day celebration there along with Mark (Cheaptrick) and my daughter.

Money can't buy happiness... but it's much more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle. |

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.
There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living |

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

Not only is it an excellent picture and sculpture, the statement about freedom is powerful too.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Oh I made it to TX all right! I've been eating since I hit the state line. I bet my shadow weighs a buck 25!
Been great though. |
