1. Dedicated to You, A Free Citizen in a Free Land Marker
Wyoming
by direction of
The Honorable John W. Snyder
Secretary of the Treasury.
As the inspirational symbol of the
United States Savings Bonds Independence Drive
from May 16 to July 4, 1950, it was displayed in
every part of this state.
The dimensions and tone are identical
with those of the original Liberty bell when it
rang out our independence in 1776.
In standing before this symbol, you have the
opportunity to dedicate yourself,
as did our founding fathers, to the principles
of the individual freedom for which our Nation stands.
and given to the United States Government by:
American Smelting and Refining Company Anaconda Copper Mining Company Kennecott Copper Corporation Miami Copper Company Phelps Dodge Corporation The American Metal Company, Limited Steel supports by U.
