Two hundred fifty years ago today, brave men pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to pursue the creation of a better world. At first they just wanted to talk King George into letting the colonists live free. When that proved impossible, they chose to fight for independence. Some lost their liberty. Others lost their fortunes. Some their lives. Some died penniless. They thought people would remember July 2nd forever and celebrate it. It is ironic that we remember July 4th instead. Never forget what those brave men did to change and create the world we live in today.
