The statue is of John Steele who was part of the U.S. 2nd Battalion of paratroopers that dropped on the town in normandy on D-Day, June 5, 1944. The dropping operation was largely unsuccessful and many of the soldiers were killed before they reached the ground.

Did new immigrants achieve the "American Dream" that they had hoped for?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Depends

Explanation:

Depends on which time they immigrated. If it was during the depression or war then definetly not, and the 20th century had plenty of political unrest in America (WW2, Vietnam, etc) so an argument could be made that they did not achieve the American Dream, but on the other hand it depends on who it was and where they were from compared to America.
