Before the Steelers and the Packers face off on Sunday, you'll catch a glimpse of the Declaration of Independence... and the National Archives on TV.

The scenes shot in the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom in the National Archives Building in Washington, DC, (www.archives.gov) will serve as a introduction for the Fox Sports piece, "The Declaration of Independence," featuring retired Army Gen. Colin Powell and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The reading features current and former NFL players reading excerpts from the document, with participants chosen for their extraordinary service to team and country. The piece will air just before the singing of the National Anthem on Super Bowl Sunday, February 6, 2011. Footage taken by Laura Diachenko, National Archives.
