Hello readers. I would first like to thank you all for the support I have received throughout this project. It is with great sadness that I write this message. I want to give special thanks to those who reached out and expressed your appreciation; I could not have done this without you. I have chosen today, August 2nd, because it marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the document which sowed the beginning of a truly momentous project.
