How different would our country be if we had lost the war in 1776? How much do our children understand the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? The Declaration of Independence is such an important piece of our history. It’s why we’re all Americans. Regardless of how we feel about whatever is going on, we have the right to stand up and voice our opinion about what goes on. Our fore-fathers allowed us certain rights; use them, but don’t abuse them. What would Washington or Jefferson or Franklin say if they were alive today? Americans seem to use to the Declaration of Independence to their own advantage at times, when it’s convenient for them. So while we’re enjoying a hot dog and a fireworks show this Sunday, spend some time with your kids and take a look at the documents that make our country the greatest in the world. Have a great 4th of July!!!
