Today is an important day for our world, no matter the country in which you live or your country of citizenship. Why? Because on this date in 1776, a courageous group of 56 men signed a ‘Declaration of Independence” on behalf of the residents of 12 colonies of people. These people were so determined to live free from domination of a faraway king, that they put their lives on the line, by declaring their independence from the King of England.
Of course, it was not enough to simply sign a document. That signature required action, a fight for Independence. That fight became a war and cost the lives of many people, before finally Independence was achieved. The result of these events was the birth of the United States of America. That nation, perhaps more than any other in history, has been the source of huge amounts of help to almost every other nation in the world.
