HAPPY 4th of JULY!

Let freedom ring forevermore so that our children and grandchildren will be able to freely claim their God-given rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. When Benjamin Franklin famously answered Elizabeth Powel, "A republic, ma'am, if you can keep it," that implied there was work to be done on our part, the citizenry. We at Williamson Families love this country and Williamson County, and we have stepped into the office of citizen to steward both to the ideals embodied in our Declaration of Independence. Please join us in the fight to keep Williamson County true to our founding principles, and in that way, we do our part to keep this Republic. 


The families of Williamson Families wish you and yours a happy and blessed Independence Day! 


Sincerely, 

Robin Steenman

Chair, Williamson Families

Reflections on 1776

 

Who were the 56 men that signed their death warrant by signing their name to one of the most famous and inspired documents in the world? We can all think of a few that we know: Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and of course, John Hancock, who’s signatural panache ensured his name would never be forgotten. What of the other 50?  They also changed the world. Please check out the 5-minute video below that shines some light on the fate of these patriots.  You don't have to be famous to change the world.  You just have to do. 

Last line of the Declaration:

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

Above:  John Trumbull's famous painting "Declaration of Independence" depicts 42 of the signers.

Click here to purchase a replica of the Declaration. I was skeptical when someone once told me that reading the handwritten version was worth it. That person was right. Purchase a copy for yourself, your kids, or your grandkids.
