I find this article very enlightening and informative. Reading the words almost brings the past to the present. Wish we had such intelligent today of those that founded this country.
I've walked the Freedom Trail in Boston and visited the buildings and cemeteries and touched the stones. Be nice if elementary school kids do the same as well as take field trips to various historical towns and places like Fort Ticonderoga to learn the who's and what's and how's and when's. and why's.. Then at school discus what they learned and saw and what it meant to them. Take trips not only Boston but Phila & Wash DC. So much to learn about this country that is taken for granted. The NE holds a treasure full of history.
I mention elementary as those years are so absorbent, formidable and may give a sense of direction to be proud.
