My pleasure .. they say it’s a
tradition, yet I don’t recall
seeing it at previous Super
Bowl presentations. Do you?

Thanks for the link.

I saw it, but couldn’t hear it at the time and was too busy moving about (but DID point to it for my mom, who is a huge Founders lover - much like I).

I pretty much didn’t bother stopping everything because I was afraid it was some kind of tie-in with the “Patriots”, frankly!

Wow - I didn’t see this until now. Amazing. How many young people in that audience even know what was being read. “The Declaration of what???”.

thanks for finding this and for the ping.

I’ve said here before, and I’ll say it again now, a lot of what they were saying could apply just as well to what has become of the peoples’, and the state’s, relationship to our current government.

How sad.
