Dred,
Thanks for posting - I think many have never read the full text (except as forced in school) for the purpose of actually just reading it.
It is always refreshing and encouraging to look back on those words and deeds and to take a moment to recognize the importance of them.
And from the reading perhaps bringing ourselves to a greater understanding of our role as citizens (those of us that are U.S. citizens that is).
Thanks again - And to those that would piss on Dreds boots for posting this, you're sad little creatures... He's rightfully proud of his country. As you should be of your own.
