As we celebrate July 4th with BBQ’s and beer it’s best to find a deeper meaning in this day off. Where 56 individuals risked their life and those of their loved ones to sign a document declaring their countries independence from the greatest military force of the time, Great Britain. These individuals were mostly men of means who could have easily ignored the plight of their fellow countryman as they lived their live of luxury but decided to make a bold statement for basic freedom. They were charting uncharted territory with a bold experiment in which individual rights were not given by the state but by the one creator and couldn’t be taken away. Was their some prophetic vision that took them to this vision; it appears not just a desire to make their land better even at the cost of losing it all. How many of us would make such a serious sacrifice from our comforts if the freedom of our countrymen and woman were in jeopardy today?. Happy July 4th to all.
