Fun Fact Friday: As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, I want to highlight some of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
John Hancock is well-known for his signature on the Declaration of Independence. Born in Massachusetts in 1737, 15 months after John Adams, John Hancock grew up alongside future Declaration signer and President, John Adams. After the death of his father, Hancock was adopted by his uncle and became a well-respected member of his community. Hancock was elected to the Continental Congress, serving as President of the Continental Congress and presiding over the Congress during the vote for Independence. Hancock was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence.

Congressman John Rutherford and I learned more about the Air and Marine Operations’ boat interdiction efforts during a recent visit to the Southwest Border.

Fun Fact Friday: As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, I want to highlight some of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Benjamin Harrison V was born in 1726 in Virginia. He attended the College of William and Mary, where he met Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson. Benjamin later moved home to carry out operations on the plantation in place of his father who died unexpectedly. He was elected to the House of Burgesses in 1749, serving as Speaker on various occasions, until it was dissolved in 1774. He was selected to read Jefferson’s draft of the Declaration of Independence to the assembled delegates on July 1 and served as Chairman of the Whole during the debate over independence on July 2. After America won independence, Benjamin Harrison was elected Governor of Virginia and helped shape the Bill of Rights.
