Who was involved in choosing the Golden Gate Bridge as a united state symoble?
The Golden Gate bridge isn't really a US symbol.

Rushmore. It might well have been one of the first things immigrants from Asia saw when coming to the United States, so I suppose it might be considered a US icon in those sub-cultures.
