Gov. Wes Moore emphasized the significance of the ceremony, stating, "Today, we celebrate a soldier and a person who earned the title of veteran. Today we celebrate one of the greatest authors of the American story." This highlights how Tubman's contributions to both the military and her narrative within American history are being honored.
Moore reflected on Tubman's bravery by saying, "She knew that in order to do the work, that meant that she had to go into the lion's den. She knew that leadership means you have to be willing to do what you are asking others to do." This illustrates Tubman's exceptional courage and her readiness to act.
Tina Wyatt, Tubman's great-great-great-grandniece, stated, "Aunt Harriet was one of those veterans informally, she gave up any rights that she had obtained for herself to be able to fight for others." This quote encapsulates Tubman's selflessness and her role as a veteran of the fight against slavery.
