This was not a lukewarm remark, but a smoldering promise. Other great statesmen such as George W ashington. Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin...to name just a few ...expressed through deed and dedication that new life is not born without the searing pain and scars of separation and sacrifice. As each patriot signed the Declaration of Independence...as each Revolutionary soldier fell from British fire, he burned his brand in the history of our nation. \\ hile colorful sparks of light move and delight us this July Fourth, may we remember those that came before. May we never forget the true meaning of freedom's fire.
