Freedom Plane departed from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport yesterday, launching a historic journey in celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary. This mission, kicked off by Ambassador Monica Crowley, is dedicated to bringing America’s founding documents to Americans across the country. First stop: Kansas City, Missouri, where the documents will be transferred to the National WWI Museum and Memorial for public display.

These treasures are rarely seen beyond the National Archives’ vaults:
- Original Engraving of the Declaration of Independence, 1823: One of only about 50 known engraved copies of the Declaration of Independence, printed from a copperplate of the original. Commissioned by John Quincy Adams and made by engraver William J. Stone, the engraving captured the size, text, lettering, and signatures of the original document (on loan from David M. Rubenstein).
- Articles of Association, 1774: Signed by all 53 delegates, the Articles of Association urged colonists to boycott British goods and was the Continental Congress’s first major unified act of resistance against Britain.
- George Washington’s, Alexander Hamilton’s, and Aaron Burr’s Oaths of Allegiance, 1778: Oaths of Allegiance that all officers of the Continental Army signed during the Revolutionary War.
- Treaty of Paris, 1783: Signed by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay, this Treaty with Great Britain formally recognized the United States as an independent nation.
- Secret Printing of the Constitution in Draft Form, 1787: A rare copy of the U.S. Constitution in draft form, with the delegate’s handwritten notes made during the Constitutional Convention in 1787.
- Tally of Votes Approving the Constitution, 1787: The voting records of the Constitutional Convention reflecting the debates, resolutions, and eventual vote on the final text that would become the Constitution.

I was happy to be emcee as honored Ken & Elaine Langone at the Awards Dinner in the stunning Plaza Hotel Ballroom.
Ed Herlihy said, “Ken Langone may be our greatest living American.” The founder of Home Depot, brilliant financier and businessman, is a man of tremendous successes but he credits his love of Jesus Christ, Elaine, his family, and his fellow man for it all.
Well over 10 million dollars was raised for the education of the children of New York! Bravo!
