Richard
Daniel Clark started a doodle on the back of an American
Airlines napkin while flying past Manhattan . . . That napkin doodle after 11 years of refinement went on
to become a masterpiece called "American Highrise" that
is eight feet in length.
American Highrise became a
"once every 200 year" piece of Americana when it was
selected to commemorate the American Bicentennial
Presidential Inaugural in 1989.
Then on the first anniversary of September 11, 2001,
a quarter of an acre reproduction of the historic image
(above)
was unveiled in
Branson, Missouri on the back wall of
The Grand Palace Theatre. The American Highrise Monument
now stands as a tribute to the spirit of freedom
although challenged will always remain victorious.
The American Highrise Monument dedication ceremony
video
includes singer, patriot Tony Orlando's inspiring song,
American Highrise.
"American Highrise is a statement that honors God,
Country and Service." Richard Daniel Clark
American Highrise shirts and other
collectibles are also available for purchase at
American
Highrise Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit
organization . . . with proceeds helping with its
mission in honoring our American Heroes.
