Signers of the Declaration of Independence

This would seem a good day to write about this for some reason. This is from my sister, Julie.

What happened to the signers of the document.

Five captured by British as traitors, and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons in the Army and another had two sons captured.

Nine fought and died from wounds or other hardships.

These were men putting it ALL on the line.

It's not all picnics, parades, celebrations, and fireworks.

Hats Off to These Brave Men. --Cooter
