It's The United States of America's Independence Day!!
Our
4th Of July:
Have you ever wondered
what happened to the 56
men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured
by the British as traitors, and tortured before they
died.
Twelve had their homes
ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving
in the Revolutionary Army; another had twor sons
captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and
died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.


They signed and they pledged their lives, their
fortunes, and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large
plantation owners; men of means, well-educated, but they
signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well
that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a
wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from
the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and
properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by
the British that he was forced to move his family
almost constantly. He served in the Congress without
pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His
possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his
reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the
properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett,
Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson,Jr., noted that
the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The
home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and
properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and
she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his
wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children
fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in
forests and caves, returning home to find his wife
dead and his children vanished.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July
holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not
much to ask for the price they paid.

Remember: freedom is never free!
We thank these early patriots, as well as those patriots
now fighting to KEEP our freedom!

 

Happy Independence Day!
