"For the first time in United States history, several of the country’s founding documents will travel the skies to visit multiple cities on their own jet in honor of the nation’s founding.“This initiative is all about bringing our history to life, capturing the national mood of celebration, and sending America’s big birthday party from the nation’s capital to the very heart of America,” said Monica Crowley, chief of protocol of the US.
The Freedom Plane took off Monday from a cold and windy Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport for its first stop in Kansas City, Missouri. The documents will travel to eight cities through August.
Among the documents: an original engraving of the Declaration of Independence; George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr’s Oaths of Allegiance and the Treaty of Paris which ended the American Revolution."
