Charters of Freedom dedication June 14 in Carson City
A ceremony to dedicate the new Charters of Freedom installation on the grounds of the Carson City Courthouse will be held Thursday, June 14 from noon to 1 p.m. at 885 East Musser Street in Carson City.
The ceremony recognizes the permanent display of America's founding documents — the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence — secured in granite and etched onto bronze plates.
The Flag Day dedication ceremony will feature music, an invocation, presentation of colors, Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem and a closing cannon volley.
Items will be placed in a time capsule built into the display.
Remarks will be made by Foundation Forward founders Vance and Mary Jo Patterson, well as local leaders, including Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell, Nevada First Judicial District Court Judge James T. Russell, and Carson City District Attorney Jason Woodbury.
Charters of Freedom Carson City is funded entirely by private donations and was facilitated by Foundation Forward, Inc., a North Carolina-based 501(c)3 non-profit.
Installation of the Charters of Freedom was completed about a month ago on the front plaza of the Carson City Courthouse.
