In the beginning of the 19th century. Military from Hudson used to receive wooden crates in which meat was stored for them to survive. On those wooden crates, the letters US (United States) were written. The purveyor was named Samuel Wilson and military used to call him Uncle Sam. This is how US for United States became the US for Uncle Sam. The image of Uncle Sam became Lincoln's in 1865 after his assasination. 

Uncle Sam can represent American Dream because at the beggining he was just a meat purvevyor, and he finnaly became as famous as Barack Obama. He became the symbol of the United States and governement use this image for elections days, or important evens...

She is a symbol of the America she was offered  by the France to celebrated America’s first 100 years as a nation and she was inaugurated the 26 of october in 1886. Since this day she was the symbol linked to the hope the imigration and the liberty.
Lady Liberty is also the symbol of freedom.
She is green, in her write hand she have a torch, the torch is the strongest symbol that Bartholdi incorporated into the Statue. In fact the Statue's real name reflects its true meaning: "Liberty Enlightening the World". 
In her left hand she holds a tablet. It is a book of law based on the founding principles of this nation, a nation based on law.
The Statue of Liberty wears a free-flowing dress or stola, which powerfully refers to the Roman influence of the goddess "Libertas", which was worshipped by freed slaves. 
She is famous and the most beautiful symbol of freedom for me !
