Just wondered if this one had some specific historic meaning. Perhaps it doesn't matter.

It's now out in a Kindle edition as well as the original hardcover: https://www.amazon.com/Read-My-Pins-Stories-Diplomats/dp/0060899182/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1486400156&sr=1-2&keywords=madeline+albright

Read My Pins is a story and celebration of how one woman’s jewelry collection was used to make diplomatic history. Exploring the use of the pin or brooch as a means of personal and diplomatic expression and featuring a gallery of fascinating photographs, this unique, intimate, and revealing biography offers a whole new side of Secretary Albright, one of our most beloved public servants.

the Bilderbergers are fed up with Drumpf. He will be erased from history using chemtrails to put the populace to sleep while all traces of Drumpf and his family are disappeared.

The pin I saw was cross-shaped and entirely gold in color.

I'd have recognized Lady Liberty.

I just looked through "Read My Pins", when had all her pins in it as of its writing, and didn't see it there.

Didn't ever mean to make THIS big of a thing about it.
