7/3 - driving my 4 and 6 yr olds to school, I talked to them about the Declaration of Independence, the colonies, the British, taxation without representation, etc. They were really into it and asked a ton of questions. I am going to love when they take history. I think schools suck at teaching it, they make it boring. No teacher ever told me that the signers of the Declaration where basically signing their death warrant, treason against the king. You can disagree with everything this country does today, but you have to be in awe at the character of those people that drafted that document and their core beliefs.
Larry - I took my flag down years ago when we had some work done on the house, thanks for your reminder to put it back up!
