July 4th

This is the date whenn we declared our Independence from Great Britian.
Considering the goverment dynamics at the time it was the age of monarchs.
Very few if any other nations existed under self rule so this was a very bold and
revoltionary move at the time. We take a lot for granted these days but this is
the time to appericate what risks our founders took to bring forth the greatest
nation on earth.
Here is a link to the document.

Although we may differ on the politics of today we should acknowledge
the great undertaking these people took.
"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands
around reloading".--Thomas Jefferson
