                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 17, 2025

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the newly 
dedicated Charters of Freedom setting in Carthage, North Carolina. This 
is the newest of over 70 settings spread across 17 different states and 
is sponsored by the nonprofit educational organization, Foundation 
Forward Inc.
  Charters of Freedom settings are based on the rotunda of the National 
Archives and contain replicas of the founding documents of the United 
States. Each setting includes bronze replicas of the Declaration of 
Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, with newer 
displays adding key amendments regarding civil rights.
  In showcasing the foundational documents of our country, these 
settings offer an important educational opportunity for visitors. In 
addition, a time capsule will be buried at the setting, set to be 
opened in 2087, on the 300th anniversary of the Constitution. As such, 
this Charters of Freedom setting will serve as a reminder of the most 
important milestones in the history of the United States for years to 
come.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the Charters of Freedom 
setting located in Carthage, North Carolina, and its mission to promote 
education, civics, and the preservation of American history.
