These fifty-six men publicly declared their commitment to the "self-evident truths" that formed the foundation of our nation and which have continued to serve as a beacon of hope for all people around the world who have ever yearned to be free.
The final sentence of the Declaration of Independence is a promise among the signers, to "mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor," and many of them and their fellow patriots did in fact sacrifice their lives and fortunes in service to our country. No loss of life or money could ever diminish the honor of these heroes, and it is that honor that we celebrate today.
I agree that kind of courage is required. I’m just not sure it exists anywhere in this government.
Honestly, the government is a reflection of her people. All the patriots can point fingers and blame, but their generations abandoned the First Principles.
Half the country opposes American values, and that half holds the levers of power. Are you really surprised that agencies are filled with evil people?
