LIBERTY BOND

A bond issued by the United States Government during World War I. Liberty bonds was used to finance the war effort in Europe. The bonds, sold under the same name, were reissued after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. These bonds were used in rebuilding the "ground zero" and other damaged areas. The Congress-passed law that introduced the bonds still stands as the legislation, allowing the issuance of all US Treasury securities.
