I DECLARE

I wonder what Thomas Jefferson and his gang of Declaration of Independence signers would think about our nation today…200+ years after they sought freedom from Great Britain. Here are 10 questions I imagine they would have if they were to bop back to Washington, D.C. Feel free to add your own:

1. Do people still remember who we are and what we did?

2. Why does the US Constitution have so many amendments?

3. Which freedom on the Bill of Rights do you most value and why?

4. Why are there 50 stars on the American flag?

5. Who was Abraham Lincoln and why is there a big statue of him on display?

6. What is the significance of Arlington National Cemetery?

7. How many wars have there been in the United States since the Revolutionary War?

8. What’s this Vietnam War Memorial all about?

9. That Jefferson Memorial sure is cool! Who designed and built it?

10. Besides sharing first names and being presidents, what do George Washington and George Bush have in common?

Have a great Independence Day and don't forget to wave your flag!
