1776


Happy Independence Day!

On this date 238 years ago, at least some of the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. As you hopefully recall, some of them signed it about a month later. Most of you will remember John Hancock's name written in those big letters so that the king wouldn't need to put on his glasses in order to read his name.

I hope everyone keeps the reason for this day in mind as they're watching the parade and the fireworks, as you're eating your burgers and brats. Remember all of the soldiers who have died for our country.

Have a great Fourth!
