Sorry to be late. I must have glitched. I scheduled it for p.m. instead of a.m. LOL. I just noticed what happened and posted it manually. My bad!

I'm glad to remember a Bible verse is on the Liberty Bell.

We’ve seen the Liberty Bell! It was a highlight on one of our trips to see all 50 states after we retired. Our symbols of freedom and liberty are so special. We have many beautiful ones. Enjoyed this post, Tara.

I’m a bit late today as well. The Liberty Bell is on my bucket list to see in 2027. ( If God allows me to be alive and healthy)

We enjoyed the epitaph of the Bell, once again.

As you said, the rumors and myths about how the "original crack" came to the bell so long ago.

As we know, from witnessing of the beloved "Internet", the rumors are not always as [true] as they were "cracked up" to be. Your story of the bell, keeps us abreast of real history.

Yet, always remembering that, freedom isn't just wrapped up in a Liberty Bell, but in the hearts of the Freedom seeking citizens of a grateful nation. Don't give up.
