buttons03 Jul 06, 2005	I knew it was easy when I made it, but I thought it would be cute. Especially since the fourth was two days ago! Hey, I had relatives here that were involved in getting the declaration signed. William Edward Otis! (But I don't think he signed it, he just helped cause trouble...LOL) Thanks for the comment!

emcruiserchik Jul 06, 2005	Yea I'm related to Benjamin Rush.. he was kindof like a makeshift surgeon general at the time. He signed it.

GebbieRose Aug 06, 2006	Thank you for this important piece of US history. Saw a copy of it a couple years ago - very moving experience when you know what courage it took for those men to sign it.
spinnercat Oct 23, 2007	pretty easy, it's one of the few dates that everyone at my school has to memorize, but might be fun and hard for those here that aren't from the US.
