Eleven Score and Fourteen Years Ago...

Eleven score and fourteen years ago our forefathers brought forth a new country...it's our BIRTHDAY!!




What a magnificent work that Thomas Jefferson penned ... see the text here.




And the Trumbull painting of the signing...





Thank you, gentlemen. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Freedom is so precious. May our leaders be wise enough to preserve it, and may our citizens be brave enough to defend it.

For the Seaver folks in Chula Vista, today will be a day of rest. We will go to church, enjoy our granddaughters one last day, and then go to church for a picnic with friends capped by the fireworks display at 8:30 p.m. over the Country Club grounds - less than a quarter mile away. Big booms.

That's actually not a picture of the signing. That's a picture of the committee presenting the declaration to the entire Congress. Note the five men in the foreground.
