I never thought a lot about it before---that is, how the patriots who put their names to our Declaration of Independence faded away into history and were forgotten.
Since I have been writing these little "snippits" of the men who signed this all-important document I have had readers ask me, "Why have I never heard of these guys before?" "Until I read this I had not seen his name anywhere before!" Please, do not think you have been shorted on your history. You are not alone, by any means, for most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence simply did the job they were chosen to do and went on to serve wherever and however they could and did not ask for anything in return, except that future generations study and learn and practice what they had put their names to. These men thought that all Americans would be grateful for the chance to live in a free state. They thought that all future Americans would practice this "art" of self-governing. The founders rightly thought that ALL Citizens would fight to keep what so many had fought and died for. I must sadly admit that what I see happening today is certainly and definitely not what our founders had in mind!...Medicineman!
My blog will attempt to be a source of accurate information on any subject put forward. My approach to any question will come from the conservative, freedom loving,and Christian. My background includes history, medicine and military. Welcome!
