Happy 4th y’all!
God re-bless America.
The Declaration of Independence ends with:
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
The signers of America’s Declaration of Independence endured the sacrifice of toil and blood. 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, children or entire families. One lost his thirteen children. Two wives were brutalized and tortured. 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.
Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826 (50 years to the day of the Declaration). Daniel Webster gave the eulogy for both men on August 2. Included in his remarks on that notable day were these words: “It [the Declaration of Independence] is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God, it shall be my dying sentiment. Independence now, and independence forever.”
Happy Independence Day ...at least what's left of it.
