Thanks to @MarlitaH for the tip.

Jefferson's draft Declaration of Independence

When in the Course of human events

It was the Declaration of Independence that was approved by the Second Continental Congress on this date in 1776.

Independence itself was voted two days earlier. We celebrate the anniversary of the birth certificate, not the birth.

The signing of the embossed copy we recognize as THE Declaration of Independence began on August 2nd.

I don’t know if God answered Sarah Palin’s prayers.

But He sure answered mine.
