America's Response Monument, subtitled De Oppresso Liber, is a life-and-a-half scale bronze statue in front of One World Trade Center, across from the National September 11 Memorial in New York City. Unofficially know as the Horse Soldier Statue, it is the first publicly accessible monument dedicated to the United States Special Forces.

The statue was created by sculptor Douwe Blumberg and commissioned by an anonymous group of Wall Street bankers who lost friends in the 9/11 attacks. The statue commemorates the servicemen and women of America's Special Operations response to 9/11, including those who fought in the early days of Operation Enduring Freedom, which led to the initial defeat of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Mr. Blumberg has completed more than 200 private and public commissions and has received numerous awards. He was inspired to begin the sculpture by a photo that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld displayed at a press conference shortly after U.S. forces entered Afghanistan. The group, named Task Force Dagger, was a joint Special Operations team consisting of Green Berets from the 5th Special Forces Group, aircrew members for the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment ("Nightstalkers"), and Air Force Combat Controllers.
