NewspaperARCHIVE.com Releases Celebrate Freedom Project

Internet users are invited to post their own message of support for military men and women at www.celebratefreedom.us. The project was created by NewspaperARCHIVE.com as a tribute to freedom.

Cedar Rapids, IA (PRWEB) July 3, 2007 -- NewspaperARCHIVE.com has released a special tribute to military men and women in celebration of freedom. The tribute, available at www.celebratefreedom.us, allows Internet users to post their own personal message and thank those that have risked their lives for freedom.

"We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate America's independence this month than to give people everywhere the opportunity to offer their support to the brave men and women that dedicate their lives to freedom and independence," says Jeff Kiley, General Manager of NewspaperARCHIVE.com.

Along with posting a message of support on www.celebratefreedom.us, users can view what others across the world have written to show their appreciation for freedom. The project also features a video tribute that acknowledges and thanks soldiers, both past and present. The video was specifically created by NewspaperARCHIVE.com for the Celebrate Freedom project.

A unique piece of this project is the importance that is placed on understanding the history behind America's freedom. Users are given access to a number of NewspaperARCHIVE.com's free special collection archives, such as www.thepearlharborarchive.com and www.holocaustarchive.com. These archives each contain thousands of full-page historical newspapers, which are fully searchable by both keyword and date.

"We believe that to really understand America's freedom and the meaning it holds, we need to look back at how history has played a role," said Leslie Fredericks-Leamon, Web Marketing Strategist at NewspaperARCHIVE.com. "The Celebrate Freedom project not only gives people the means to express their thanks and support, but it also encourages them to use historical newspapers to learn about the path America has taken to achieve its freedom."

NewspaperARCHIVE.com began in 1999 and is owned by Heritage Microfilm of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. With more than 66 million newspaper pages, the archive is the largest historical newspaper database available online.
