The Nation’s only traveling working Liberty Bell carries on in the tradition of the original sacred icon of 1753.

As long as there is Liberty there will need to be a bell to proclaim it.
It is important to never forget the high price of Liberty and those patriots who have given their lives to protect it. The Liberty Bell travels all over the country to honor those who have paid the ultimate price to protect our Freedom. We are honored to inspire and encourage military families as well as those troops who are about to be deployed in the cause for Liberty.The Liberty Bell has an inscription, ” Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof ” - Lev. XXV, v. x.As a free people it is our duty to Proclaim Liberty to those enslaved and longing to be free.

RICHLAND HILLS (WBAP) - A traveling monument dedicated to the men and women who laid down their lives in the service of our country was damaged late Sunday night, in a collision blamed on drunk driving. The monument consists of a one-ton replica of the Liberty Bell, and two large concrete tablets containing the Ten Commandments. They were mounted on a goose-neck trailer, and parked on the shoulder of the Airport Freeway access road, just past Handley Ederville Road.

According to Richland Hills Police, it happened at 10:23 PM Sunday night. A gray Chevy Tahoe smashed into the back of the trailer at a high rate of speed. The man who was securing the load was badly hurt. He was taken to a local hospital by air ambulance. The driver of the Tahoe was also hurt, and was transported to the hospital by a ground ambulance. No one else is hurt

Investigators say excessive speed and driving while intoxicated are to blame for the collision.

This man is one of the most giving individuals you would ever want to meet. At the Patriot Guard funerals, he is always there for the KIA and veteran funerals.

I have personally witnessed him at these funerals, and when that bell rings it resonates for hundreds of yards. A very solemn sound to hear at a funeral, especially a KIA. It reminds us of our Liberty and Freedoms we enjoy as Americans and the costs associated with it.

The Bell’s Purpose

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends…”
