"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
5 of the Signers were captured as traitors and tortured.
12 had their homes ransacked and burned.
2 lost their sons in the Revolutionary War, 2 others had their sons captured.
9 died from wounds from the hardships of war.
How have you honored these men today?
