Independence Day?
??????????????????Debra L. Brown
??????????????????Published: June 2019?
??????????????????When we think about the birth?
??????????????????of this great nation,?
??????????????????Congress declared July the 4th 1776?
??????????????????and issued a proclamation.?
?
??????????????????With this decree, the thirteen colonies?
??????????????????are now free.?
??????????????????We will no longer live?
??????????????????under England's Monarchy.?
?
??????????????????Five great men?
??????????????????were given the task?
??????????????????to draw up papers?
??????????????????for freedom at last.?
?
??????????????????Thomas Jefferson,?
??????????????????we can remember.?
??????????????????A founding father,?
??????????????????Patriot and a Continental member.?
?
??????????????????Together these men?
??????????????????drafted the amendments.?
??????????????????Franklin, Livingstone, Sherman and Adams,?
??????????????????united they authored the Declarations of Independence.?
?
??????????????????Battles were fought,?
??????????????????and blood was shed.?
??????????????????Life was lost,?
??????????????????and men were dead.?
?
??????????????????"FREEDOM" came with?
??????????????????A heavy price.?
??????????????????War is not pretty,?
??????????????????nor is it nice.?
?
??????????????????We can thank?
??????????????????the Lord above.?
??????????????????He gave us these United States,?
??????????????????a country we can love.?
?
??????????????????Men fought for our freedom,?
??????????????????and with their lives they did pay.?
??????????????????That's why we celebrate?
??????????????????Independence Day.?
?
May you as Leader this week?celebrate and enjoy our independence as a nation.?
