Today's * from Our Flag
[ Declaration of Independence painting by John Trumbull = hangs in Rotunda of U.S. Capitol ]
Happy Independence Day, America!!!
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
-Preamble, Declaration of Independence
[ authored primarily by Thomas Jefferson as a part of the "Committee of Five" (John Adams, Ben Franklin, Robert Livingston, Roger Sherman, and Thomas Jefferson) ]
If you want to know the patriots who boldly stepped up to defy the British rule of King George III and declare the 13 colonies' independence, then see Trumbull's painting key below. Pick and look up a few of them online and learn about them.
