GAINESVILLE, GA — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) released the following statement ahead of a Freedom Truck visiting the Ninth District this weekend at the Jefferson Freedom Festival.

“As we celebrate 250 years of America’s legacy of liberty, there is no better way to honor our founding than by bringing its story directly to the communities that embody its spirit,” said Clyde. “I encourage folks across the Ninth District to join me in Jefferson this weekend to experience the Freedom Truck and to reflect on the extraordinary nation our Founding Fathers built. Northeast Georgians have a long and storied tradition of patriotism, and this event is a perfect opportunity to celebrate that heritage.”

Background

As part of this year’s events to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, Freedom 250 pioneered Freedom Trucks to bring this historic celebration to communities across the United States.
