I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Description of Subject Matter: Embassy of Hungary Unveils Statue of the “Budapest Lad’ Honoring the 60th Anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight
October 18, 2016 10:47 AM
On Sunday, October 16 the Embassy of Hungary, in collaboration with Hungarian-American organizations across the Washington, D.C. area, erected a statue of the “Budapest Lad” to permanently commemorate the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight on the special occasion of its 60th Anniversary.
After Soviet tanks crushed the 1956 Revolution, thousands of young Hungarians were forced to flee their country and sought out new beginnings and a new lives in the United States. The statue of the “Budapest Lad” honors their memory and the memory of Hungarian freedom fighters everywhere.
The life-size bronze statue of the “Budapest Lad” depicts a typical Hungarian student of the time holding the Hungarian national flag of the Revolutionaries with a hole in the middle where the symbol of the oppressive Communist regime has been cut out.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony, Minister of National Development of Hungary Miklós Seszták said that the statue “tells the story of thirst for freedom and the strength of a unified nation to stand up for its rights.” “This statue symbolizes the common desires and principles that always bonded or countries and nations together,” added the Minister.
Other VIPs who spoke and were in attendance included Colleen Bell, US Ambassador to Hungary, Zsolt Németh, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Hungarian National Assembly, and János Horváth, Ambassador-at-large and former Doyen of the Hungarian National Assembly.
The unveiling ceremony took place in Scott’s Circle at 1500 Rhode Island Ave, NW on the grounds of the new building of the Embassy of Hungary and was followed by a wreath-laying ceremony and a tour of the new Embassy building.
The unveiling of the statue of the “Budapest Lad” was made possible through generous donations by private citizens, and the following American and Hungarian organizations and businesses: the American-Hungarian Heritage House, Szabo Gear Manufacturing Ltd, Citi, Pannonious Foundation, DBH Group, Paccar Inc, Comcast Corporation, BorgWarner, the Hungarian America Foundation, the Magyar Club of the Triangle, and the Memorial Committee established for the 60th Anniversary of the 1957 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight.
