Hey guys, I'm new here, and I didn't know where to post this, but I need help. My friend recently got a kik message from this guy named "The Puzzler" and said that he didn't know why my friend's kik was on his phone, but he knows that he is The Puzzler. We decided we'd go mess with him and ask if he was a roleplayer and stuff, and quickly realized he wasn't. He asked us questions to get to know us, such as what our favorite book was. I'm not sure why, but he did. He said we were part of a 'game'. He gave us a riddle, and we don't know where to go about it. We were hoping if you guys could help us solve it, because we're super interested. He also somehow knows our timezone and such. Here is the riddle:
a symbol of unIty
where eagles fly High
like a peaRl in the ocean
my patriotism shines
maDe from earth sky and bone
from The suffering of men
IN THE UNION i stand
40 feet high

you guys are gonna be part of a CP sharing community it seems, gl.
We figured out that the capitalized words are "THIRD IN THE UNION" when unscrambled. We thought that it might be the third state to join the Union, which would be New Jersey. But that's all we have so far
Christ the redeemer statue?
I'm going by "The Puzzler" now.
Update:
We found out that there's the 40 foot tall tear drop statue for the 9/11 victims, which is a coincidence since the date is near. We have until 8:00, which is less than two hours from now

*Virtual hug* *Good vibes*
Another update:
We found out that IHRDT also cyphers into the number Five. The V Corps fought in Gettysberg, which is a place in New Jersey, what we first said. There is a monument there that stands 40 feet tall

>Gettysberg, which is a place in New Jersey
you might be good at puzzles but you suck at geography
Shit, man you're right, sorry I'm typing quickly and typing our shitty ideas. We just need help here, we have an hour left. I'm interested in this, and we don't wanna be eliminated from the game

Geography is a toughie for simple folk such as myself don't be too down about it, we all have strengths and weaknesses anon 0($#67;"38

Good to see that teenagers are still as stupid as they were in the days of myspace.

Would've never guessed something that damn huge and the patriotism part. Yup that was some good shit rit thur
Oh jeez, I got a lot of hate for this. Oh well, I guess.
Update: We answered, but got it partially correct. It was referring to the Monument of States that's in Kissimmee, Florida, but apparently we left something important out. Our friend that got the first text (who was the only person supposed to answer) decided to not pick up the phone and wasted our time. We also lost a clue for *apparently* tomorrow's riddle. Needless to say, I'm pissed
You all didn't have to reply, I just needed some help solving a damn riddle. We figured it out on our own, but it would've helped a bit. This isn't an ARG or some shit, it's probably a prank pulled by someone we know, but it's an interesting one
