Thanks for the post, GonzoII, and the ping, SunkenCiv. Charles Carroll is an inspiration to all Americans, and a special one, I would assume, to Catholic Americans. Maryland was the Catholic colony, so it's certainly fitting that it was Mr. Carroll signed. And all those brave lads who gave their lives during the Battle of Brooklyn were mostly Marylanders and Catholics ("The Maryland 400"). (And just for full disclosure, I am not Catholic).
