Message of the Day –A Statue
Another statue from the U.S. Capitol showing the religious nature of the American experience, this one was placed there by the State of Hawaii.
It’s of “Father Damien (1840-1889), a Belgian priest who spent 16 years at the Molokai colony taking care of lepers and became a victim of leprosy himself (statue given by Hawaii),” according to Historic Medical Sites in the Washington, DC Area.

Message of the Day – Part of a Statue
When our family visited the U.S. Capitol last June, I saw all sorts of symbols of religion.They probably wouldn’t be allowed if the Democrats in charge today had their way.
This was placed in the Capitol by some state.
I can’t remember which one.
Does anyone know which state?
