Saluting Signers of Declaration of Independence

Darla of Dork

Independence Day VS 4th of July. I now like “Independence Day” more than “July 4th.” Because July 4 is a date that can be commandeered by political parties to their own benefit. Independence Day is a celebration of breaking free as our own nation...not a nation of Republicans, Democrats (or even Whigs), but our people were united, that’s why it’s The United States Of America. When the Signers Of the Declaration Of Independence signed that document, they weren’t 100% sure that the new nation would survive...AND they knew they would be put to death for treason toward King & Crown if the new nation didn’t succeed. I don’t think these men are honored enough in American history.
