"The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered... as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people." — Bro. George Washington (from his First Inaugural Address)

Happy 4th of July, Brothers and friends! May this 250th celebration be an amazing one!
