WAKARUSA, Ind. – Next year our nation will be celebrating its 250th birthday — the semiquincentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence – and Rob Jackson, president/owner of Horizon Transport wants to give everyone an opportunity to participate in this historic event.
To that end, the company has created a new webpage – www.SeeAmerica250.com.
Jackson grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and as a 12-year-old during the nation’s Bicentennial celebration, he remembers the excitement surrounding that year. “All the wagon trains coming into Valley Forge,” he said. “That celebration of America was a really special year.” He added he knows the 250th is also going to be a historic time. “I want Americans to have the opportunity to get out there; to say, ‘I’m going to take a year off, get a truck and deliver RV’s and be part of this historic time’,” he said.
The webpage has links to all sorts of resources for the semiquincentennial—there are links for each state where you can search the activities and areas that are being highlighted in each state, national parks links, celebrate America 250 link and Jackson said they’ll continue to add to the site as more information becomes available.
There are also driver testimonials on the site with drivers from different walks of life speaking about why they love to drive for Horizon and though they might have different stories, almost all mentioned being able to travel across the states as one reason why they love what they do.
Jackson said, “The story of America is one of an entrepreneurial spirit — that’s what makes us great — small businesses are our secret sauce, so why not start your own business during this historical time and get out and see all our nation has to offer and let us pay you while you’re doing it!”
Jackson relates to those who say our time on earth is short and he doesn’t want anyone to have regrets when the historic year is over that they didn’t take the time or opportunity to experience it.
“During this historic year, all 50 states will be holding celebrations and activities. Along with the opportunity to explore America’s many historic landmarks, Horizon is offering the opportunity to travel America while earning an income—whether you want to take a year off to do this or make it a career; we want the site to be a catalyst to move people to action,” he said.
With all the resources attached, including a video message from Congressman Rudy Yakym, Jackson hopes the See America 250 site can be a ‘one stop shop’ for anyone interested in the semiquincentennial.
“It’s a shame that so many people haven’t gotten out to see America,” he said, adding, “It’s not so much the destinations but the people you’ll meet and the stories you’ll have to tell along the way. It’s the journey.”
