This document was the foundation of our country's freedom.  Many of the phrases and promises most of us are familiar with and cherish deeply can be found in this brief writing.  There is the fire, zeal, promise, apprehension, righteous indignation, and hope of a fledgling nation contained in but so many words.  But these words were those that men staked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor on -- literally.  Had the American Revolutionary War not gone the way it had, every signer would have been rounded up and hung by King George the III.  Those whom we admire as our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and many more would have merely been footnotes in history while our country would have remained under a monarchy.  Read it, treasure it, share it.  Its value is far beyond what most of us today give it credit for.
