Happy Independence Day!

FlagAs a history major I feel that there are several important documents that every American should read on occasion.

One of the most important is the Declaration of Independence.  Several years ago I started making it a tradition to read it every Independence Day.  Please take a few minutes to read it.  It’s an amazing document.  There is a copy here that is easy to read.

Happy Independence Day!
