While visiting Washington, D.C., for events with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the National Archives Foundation, Garth Brooks and wife and fellow country star Trisha Yearwood were given a rare opportunity to view some of the most important documents in American history, including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
“When you see the actual Declaration, you can’t help but cry,” Brooks said on his official website.
Brooks was particularly fascinated by the history surrounding the Declaration of Independence and the risks taken by the men who signed it.
The singer also shared one of his favorite details from the exhibit.
As part of the experience, Brooks and Yearwood were invited to sign a replica copy of the Declaration of Independence, a tradition extended to notable visitors who tour the exhibit.
"It’s become a tradition for any actor, artist, or renowned figure who views the Declaration of Independence exhibit to sign a copy of the historic document…and Garth and Trisha were given that opportunity, too!" writes Brooks. "The National Archives Foundation were only too happy to have the biggest-selling musical artist in history put his own 'John Hancock' on a copy of the Declaration. And he was happy to do so when asked!"
For the singer, seeing the Declaration of Independence in person was more than a history lesson. It was a reminder of the courage, sacrifice and conviction that helped shape the United States nearly 250 years ago.
