Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - America 250 News: A letter by Rep. Jim Baird (R-IN) was placed in the Semiquincentennial Congressional Time Capsule to be opened in 2276, the 500th anniversary of America: "Remember these principles. Freedom is never won nor defended easily but is always worth protecting. America is the greatest country ever created in human history. The words of Indiana veteran and journalist, Elmer Davis ring true now, as they will in 250 years: 'This nation will remain the land of the free, only so long as it is the home of the brave'." The letter was also entered into Thursday's Congressional Record, July 2, 2026.
