My great-great-something grandfather was a Signer of the Declaration.

That is marvelous that you have that.

I do not know anyone past my grandparents,
all of whom are gone.
Some in from Canada,England,France,Norway on one side
the other Irish married Italian.

From Boston yet.
I guess that was Bit of a challenge.
heh.

So,I effectively personally knew all of
em who got it done here.

For me it is the immediacy of the struggle,
the living memory that makes me appreciate
this place.

Folks can easily take this country for
granted, like it is supposed to be this way,
that it is somehow automatic.

The fight never ends.

That is so true. We can’t go to the Freedom Store to get more after we’re out of stock.
