At a time in the history of our nation,  when the results of national Congressional elections of 2014 signaled a turn away from liberalism to Conservatism. it is wholly appropriate that the 1700 pound, 8 foot statue of the Father of the Conservative Movement in the United States, Senator Barry M. Goldwater, who earned the nick name “Mr Conservative,” will soon be installed in National Statuary Hall in the US Capital of the United States.  

By clicking on the below listed link, Senator Goldwater’s statue can be viewed being moved for shipment from the Capital Building in the State of Arizona, to the US Capital in Washington, DC to represent the State of Arizona.  Senator Barry Goldwater’s statue will be displayed in National Statuary Hall, one of the most popular rooms of the US Capital, and will be displayed among the statues of the most famous Founders Fathers of the Republic, and with many US Presidents.

Senator Goldwater was truly a renaissance man, a humanitarian who pushed for desegregation of the US Armed Forces,, was very aggressive in maintaining the strength of the US Armed Forces, and in 1960  he Co-Authored “The Conscience of a Conservative.”.  Barry Goldwater was born in 1909; he served in the US Army Air Force during WWII (became a command pilot & eventually rose to the rank of a Brigadier General in the US Air Force Reserve), he ran his family’s department store chain until he decided to pursue a career in politics;   Senator Goldwater served 5 terms in the US Senate, won the Republican primary nomination to run for US President in 1964.. A notable quote that rings true today more than ever: “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!  And let me remind you that moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.” (July 16, 1964).

In 1998, when the Senator passed away, he was accorded high US Military Honors during his funeral service in Phoenix, and was honored in a fly over by the US Air Force in a “Missing Man Formation.”  Senator Goldwater’s service was held on the campus of Arizona State, where he was a accorded the position of visiting Professor of Political Science following his retirement from the US Senate.  The service was attended by nearly every US Senator in the nation of both parties.  Senator Goldwater was an Honorary Chief of the Smoki people of Prescott, and was eulogized in their native tongue, by the Chief of that Indian Nation, by his son, Congressman Barry M. Goldwater, Jr., and others.  Cong Goldwater, Jr. was the first Congressman in history to serve in Congress with his father; he served in Congress with Senator Goldwater for 13 years. 

The installation of Senator Goldwater’s Statue in National Statuary Hall will be a memorable day for Congressman Barry M. Goldwater, Jr.(Ret), the Goldwater family, Conservatives Americans throughout the Republic, and for the 23 million Veterans throughout the nation who benefited greatly from the Senator’s 30 years of being a staunch advocate for their welfare, especially from 1985 to 1987 when Senator Goldwater was Chairman of the US Senate Armed Services Committee.   Congressman Barry M.
