Today we celebrate our nation’s independence, and the talented and brave individuals who risked their lives and fortunes to make it so. Ironically, all they wanted were the rights to which they were accustomed as Englishmen, rights which England would not extend to them as colonials.
While that was their grievance, they ended up accomplishing something far greater. Something so great that all these many decades later it continues to be a magnet drawing people to our shores.
The DrsC have sailed the seven seas and visited every continent, most repeatedly. There is no nation, of the 100+ we’ve visited, we would rather call “home.”
Happy birthday to these United States of America.
