“By signing the Declaration of independence the 56 Americans pledged their lives their fortunes and their sacred honor. It was no idol pledge. Nine signers died of wounds during the Revolutionary War. Five were captured or imprisoned. Wives and children were killed, jailed, mistreated or left penniless. 12 signers’ houses were burned to the ground. 17 lost everything they owned. No signer defected. Their honor like their Nation remained intact.”

May we never forget.

Perky gave his all!!! Thank you sir.

There’s that number 17 again! Unreal.
