    What great courage and foresight it took for these men to band and stick together to declare America free!! Sadly, so many of them didn't live to see their dream of freedom come to fruition! I am thankful for their courage and great sacrifice and know we must continue to protect the legacy of freedom and responsibility they have left us.

    Our sacred Declaration of Independence signed with the blood of our forefathers now taken for granted.

      THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS NOT PROPERLY TAUGHT IN SCHOOL, IMHO. American history and our govt is taught like a series of facts, but the heart of the story-----the cause they were fighting for---has not been conveyed, and therefore, the Declaration has no meaning for people. It is sad that Americans don't know our history, what the constitution is, and how the Bill of Rights protects each and every one of us. What an amazing story, new and unrehearsed, America, a Republican democracy with THE RULE OF LAW PREEMINENT AND A PRESIDENT WITH EQUAL POWER TO THE JUDICIARY AND LEGISLATIVE BODIES. Washington, who was asked to rule for more yrs than he wanted, refused to be called"king" and willingly relinquished power. It never ceases to amaze me the beauty and majesty of our country and our govt. To see Anericans disparage it, destroy the flag, curse and vilify America makes me physically ill. And yes, that includes Trump, who demeans and demolishes America and Americans, especially veterans at every turn.

      It’s because women were allowed to vote and then scum were allowed to take over the country. By the way, I’m Gary‘s wife and I’m a woman and I do not believe that women should have the right to vote nor should they ever occupy any place in the federal, state, county or city government, and we need to get rid of all the bureaucracy in this country.

      Back in 1988, Paul Harvey said donald trump had a lot of good ideas that should be enacted.
      Of course, that was when trump was a Democrat and a Christian (wink, wink)

      ⁠​⁠@@yvonneplant9434, having slaves has been and still is found throughout the entire world and has been since the beginning of time. The fact that the USA that is singled out for having slavery in our past is ludicrous. Even in the present throughout the world slavery abounds. Those complaining about the distant past in America when slavery was legal should instead work to end the current slavery still practiced in other nations. Yet here they are harping about many of our Founding Fathers being owners of slaves. In their time it was common and not illegal.
      If not for the genius, sacrifice, and dedication of our Founding Fathers the United States would never have been created. Think about that before criticizing those great men who did what no other humans throughout history could accomplish.

    This is a great piece to listen to, thanks. I joined the Army in 1968 and went to Vietnam. I didn’t want to go but my country called and I went. I had friends that avoided the draft by any means possible and although they all stayed friends, somehow they were diminished in my eyes. I love my country and I’m proud to admit it.

    As a now independent journalist, with close to 28 years of radio, TV, newspaper and magazine experience, I decided to become a news and public affairs host of my own podcasts in 2018 to present day instead of retirement from American society, which I could afford to do. My one and only goal since 2018, with God's blessing, is to continue to promote, protect and proclaim the Declaration of independence, the Bill of Rights, the US Constitution, and above all.. guard and protect the First Amendment.

I've reflected on what I remembered of it numerous times since with little recollection of all the details, but I'm going to save this and rewatch it on occasion. The sacrifices, inspiration and dedication of our forefathers MUST NOT be forgotten nor categorized as unimportant or insignificant.

We owe a great debt to these men, and most of us haven’t had to risk much to live the lives they were so instrumental in laying the foundation for! I Revere them for what they did! It brings a tear to my eye! I tear up with gratitude and reverence, and I tear up with sadness for the place we find ourselves in, our country has lost its way and we share in the blame for allowing it to get this bad! I can imagine how disappointed they might be if they could see it now! It’s still the greatest nation and we can change it back, God Willing!

This is the kind of history that should be taught in all schools in our nation so everyone truly understands the sacrifice these men made in actually creating our free country. Quite honestly, this has been an eye opening in depth history lesson for me and now I truly understand what independence day is. I grew up listening to Paul and I miss hearing his voice and the stories he brought to life, shed light upon.
