46 of the 56 men that signed the Declaration of Independence displayed COURAGE and stood STEADFAST through trials and tribulations.
1 – betrayed by a neighbor before his signature dried
2 – lost their sons during the American Revolution
5 – captured and brutally tortured
9 – died in combat during the American Revolution
12 – homes pillaged and burned
17 – lost everything they owned
However, hang together they did – never selling each other out or denouncing the words or the dream on that document that started one of mankind’s greatest experiments. Let us pray for the courage to stand steadfast like these brave men did long ago!
