Happy Birthday America. Thankful everyday for the life and freedoms we enjoy because of you.

Here is a 4th of July video clip that always makes me laugh...
 
Don't miss an opportunity to share with the youngsters the true story of the signers of the declaration. History is just fine with leaving out the most important part of what the founders did, and that is what happened to them after they signed the declaration.


Lives, Fortunes, Honor

Of those 56 who signed the Declaration of Independence, nine died of wounds or hardships during the war. Five were captured and imprisoned, in each case with brutal treatment. Several lost wives, sons or entire families. One lost his 13 children. Two wives were brutally treated. All were at one time or another the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes. Twelve signers had their homes completely burned. Seventeen lost everything they owned. Yet not one defected or went back on his pledged word. Their honor, and the nation they sacrificed so much to create is still intact.
 
Happy 4th of July and grateful to live in the best country in the world! Unfortunately the lunatics, activists, and those that hate this country get to enjoy the same freedoms.
