Bravo Zulu! Great article and an excellent example of the attention to detail that our guys strive for._x000D_ Thomas Jefferson was instrumental in shaping the Constitution, and spoke at length at several meetings to expound on the intricacies of the philosophies being implemented by the founding fathers.
