"Nations come into being in many ways. Military rebellion, civil strife, acts of heroism, acts of treachery, a thousand greater and lesser clashes between defenders of the old order and supporters of the new--all these occurrences and more have marked the emergences of new nations, large and small. The birth of our own nation included them all. That birth was unique, not only in the immensity of its later impact on the course of world history and the growth of democracy, but also because so many of the threads in our national history run back through time to come together in one place, in one time, and in one document: the Declaration of Independence."

Tim, I personally appreciate the 4th of July posting. We all need to stop and realize how blessed we are to live in the USA. Yes, with all of its faults, it's still the greatest place in the world. Thanks for the reminder.
