DEDICATED TO YOU, A FREE CITIZEN IN A FREE LAND
This reproduction of the Liberty Bell was presented to the people of
NEW HAMPSHIRE
by direction of
The Honorable John W. Snyder
Secretary of the Treasury
as the inspirational symbol of the
United States Savings Bonds Independent Drive
from May 15 to July 4 1950, it was displayed in
every part of the state.
The dimensions and tone are identical
with those of the original Liberty Bell when it
rang out our independence in 1776.
In standing before this symbol, you have the
opportunity to dedicate yourself,
as did our founding fathers, to the principles
of the individual freedom for which our nation stands.
