Exchange Club Freedom Shrine installed at junior high school<br />

The Exchange Club <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> recently installed <strong>the</strong> Freedom Shrine in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Junior High<br />

School along <strong>the</strong> wall <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> history classroom wing. The shrine previously was housed in <strong>the</strong> old junior high<br />

building (Commodore Building).<br />

The Freedom Shrine is a collection <strong>of</strong> 22 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most important and historic American documents, including<br />

<strong>the</strong> Declaration <strong>of</strong> Independence, <strong>the</strong> Constitution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States and <strong>the</strong> Gettysburg Address.<br />

Developed by <strong>the</strong> National Exchange Club, <strong>the</strong> Freedom Shrine originated from <strong>the</strong> Freedom Train that<br />

toured <strong>the</strong> nation in 1947 carrying an exhibit <strong>of</strong> historic documents. The purpose <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Freedom Shrine is<br />

tw<strong>of</strong>old. It puts before young Americans pro<strong>of</strong> that <strong>the</strong> freedom and greatness enjoyed today were not purchased<br />

easily and reminds <strong>the</strong>m that <strong>the</strong>se gifts must be cherished and protected. The documents <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Shrine represent foundation stones which permit <strong>the</strong> present, as we know it, to exist and <strong>the</strong> future, as we<br />

dream it, to be attainable.<br />

Pictured with <strong>the</strong> Freedom Shrine is Robin Laird, PJHS assistant principal and member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />
