Story:
We were able to attend the re-enactment of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence at Independence Hall, Philadelphia. It was first read on July 8, 1776, and is publicly read again each year on the same date. Various people were in period costume and participated by shouting pros and cons as the declaration was read. It was a lively experience which I was grateful to see. This soldier was standing in front of us on the balcony and carried on a loud debate with a loyalist in the gallery below.
