Down at the bottom right, were the words, "New Hampshire...Live Free"

As far as I know, the state motto hasn't been changed to eliminate "...or Die". I'm guessing the NH Tourism arm of the State Government is the group that rented the billboard space? Did they purposely leave out "or Die" to not offend anyone in MA?
Maybe they don’t want people to think about dying while on vacation. I was at a campground on Moosehead and one of the campers at the site next to mine fell overboard during a sudden squall. They recovered his body 48 hours later.
