While we're all out playing golf, camping, cooking out with family,
going to the swim club or lake, or whatever else we do on the holiday
tomorrow, wouldn't hurt to reflect on what we're celebrating. What
ever happened to the men who signed the Declaration of Independence
(a
risky thing to do at the time)? Here's a nice piece by Jeff Jacoby
that talks about it:

Makes me wonder if today's congressmen would take such a risk or
be willing to suffer such consequences? Also makes me a little more
appreciative of what we have, thanks to the work of those who walked
before us.
