Independence Hall

The post-9/11 security measures make Independence Hall look like a war zone. It's ironic that a symbol of American liberty looks like a prison.

The birth of our nation -- need I say more ?

There is nothing more thrilling than to be in the room where the Declaration of Independence was adopted. I can't stop thinking of Thomas Jefferson! No other place in the country has anything to equal this. We are so lucky to have this treasure at our disposal. I visit frequently to remind myself of the blessings of liberty and to thank the Founding Fathers.
