| I add my wishes for you all to have a wonderful 4th of July and may God help us preserve the freedoms and liberty that so many have fought and sacraficed for these last 232 years. A little history. Did you know that not all the founders signed the Declaration of Independence of the 4th or were even there to vote for it's approval? For example my own ancestor/ founder was George Clymer. George was away tending to critical financial matter having to do with the revolution and did not get back until the 6th and that is when he signed the document. He was one of the relatively few founders that signed both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Today we mark the anniversary of this nations founding members stand against subjugation and tyranny. We all should stop to remember that it came at great personal risk and sacrifice and should never be taken for granted. I thank the men and women who today stand firm to allow people of two other nations the same opportunity and God bless our nation

well worth the 15 or so minutes invested to hear the words that changed the world read--I certainly don't agree with the politics of all who are part of the reading but it is important that we take the time to know what was in the document that we celebrate to day
