"Freedom is the genesis of all American glory."
-- United States Senator Paul Coverdell, January 20, 1939 - July 18, 2000
Dedicated by the City of Decatur on October 23, 2000, to the memory of U.S. Senator Paul D. Coverdell who devoted his life and career to the principles of liberty set forth by Thomas Jefferson.
"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men form injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouths of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."
-- Thomas Jefferson
The statue of Thomas Jefferson was crafted by artist George Lundeen of Loveland, Colorado. |
