Physician Moves On to Next Patriotic Project

A physician in Hopkinsville, Ky., who won a zoning fight three years ago to put an 8-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty in his frontyard is thinking bigger.
Dr. Ramzi Haroun plans to build a 60-foot stone statue of a woman draped in the American flag and reaching her arms to the sky. He would like to see the $500,000 statue in a public place, lit with red and blue lasers.
“The more gigantic it’s going to be, then the more gigantic its meaning also is going to be,” said Haroun, a pediatrician originally from Jordan. “It will shine all over the place. It’s like a light of freedom. It will go everywhere.”
