This is a great reminder of why we celebrate Independence Day-4th of July.<br /><br />I am 63yr & I have never experienced a reading of the Declaration of Independence at a 4th of July celebration. It's sad we have let this go as we have so many other things from years past.<br /><br />Blessings, Tina<br /><br /><br /><br />Mrs Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896114843568971108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-91551932493193611832016-07-04T11:09:40.910-04:002016-07-04T11:09:40.910-04:00Happy 4th of July, Gabrielle!

Every one should be read out loud, every year, to remind us who sacrificed it all for our freedom.

I will look up the name of those I don't just to learn a bit more of who they were. <br />Being born in the USA I am ashamed <br />that I don't know already. But as the saying goes "you're never to old to learn."Elsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730557233997757311noreply@blogger.com
