Please see below some facts about the Florida as well as a map that has the 67 counties with location marked of my "Journey Across Florida."
You can find a copy of this map in The Florida Handbook by Allen Morris. The last print of the handbook was done in 2011-2012 and this same information can be found on the "My Florida" web page.
I wish you all a Happy Fourth of July Celebration!
Did you know that what happened to the 56 brave men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
As we celebrate this July 4th please say a prayer for our nation and honor these "Patriots" who pledged for freedom and knew that "Freedom is Never Free" please see the note below:
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army;
another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
If you want to know more, you can give me an email and as I journey across Florida; it will be my honor to share with you more about these patriots.
My next journey will be in Manatee County and I will drop in to see Dr. Dianna Greene and share with her the mission and goals of the 27 - 67 project.
Joseph
