The story card attached to this bell reads: The United States of America is the world's oldest democratic republic, deriving its strength from traditions of freedom and equality. The eagle, our majestic symbol of freedom, soars on updrafts of wind, then dives decisively when moved to action. On behalf of all throughout the world who value freedom, equality and democracy, we are steadfast in the vigilant struggle to keep the world a safer place as our nation continues its long tradition of acting decisively in its defense. Let the same wind that carries our glorious eagle aloft in free flight bring to mind thoughts of our precious freedom when you hear it ring this Freedom Bell. All Harmony Hollow bells come with a 350 year guarantee. 17"
