Sign Here, Please [E] A speech I wrote for a competition! |
HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" Greetings seasoned, DayDreamer, and happy belated 13th 'birthday' on here! When I found this and opened it in your portfolio I was half expecting it to be a guest book, but I noticed how long it was. That raised my curiosity, and I'm glad it didn't turn out to be that! I think this is fantastic! You've done a marvelous job here of paying tribute to our forefathers who put their lives into writing and signing this document, and your patriotism is greatly displayed here! You're so right that many of those other 'small' signers of the Constitution were not well known, and many probably never will be. But just by mentioning a couple of their names, like Mifflin and Few, you've brought recognition to all 39 of them (I had no idea there was 39! ). You also showed us what a daunting task it was to write this document as we shed our loyalty to the British Crown to create our own country, rules, and government. And looking back on it, that was an extraordinary undertaking! They went waaaay beyond the call of duty in doing that, and they should all be remembered as the great men that they all were! So to answer that question at the end of this, you're damn right I'll sign it! And with a VERY large flourish! Kee ponw ritin gon, DayDreamer! Thank you so much for sharing this, and may you have many more wonderful 'birthdays' on WdC! PS-My father fought in WWII and I know he would have loved to have read this! PSS-And it's very deserving of that beautiful ribbon!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
