A long line of visitors came out to see the document Friday.<\/p>\n
The exhibit gives families an opportunity to connect to those bigger ideals and to question whether or not they\u2019re living up to that expectation, Crujeira said, describing the Declaration\u2019s words as aspirational ones that eventually inspired so many other revolutions.<\/p>\n
Other founding-era documents are on view through Sunday, including oath cards. One described the moment of decision facing colonists: \u201cYou are in the middle of the war, you are not winning, you are not losing, but you are not winning and then asked to sign an oath of allegiance swear against the king.\u201d<\/p>\n
Army veteran Julio Escareno brought his 7-year-old daughter, Liana, to see the documents ahead of tomorrow\u2019s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was explaining to her that it took a lot of bravery to make that commitment, to not know if they were going to live and die, but know they did not want to be under British rule,\u201d Escareno said.<\/p>\n
Escareno, who served in several deployments, said his children understand the sacrifices veterans make and where it all began.<\/p>\n
\u201cI served in several deployments, so they understand the sacrifices veterans make, so they understand where it all began,\u201d he said. \u201cI love my country and I want my children to have that same love for that country, and do what it takes to preserve the beauty that we have, that right, wrong, or indifferent, we have a great country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caio Pingitori said the anniversary resonates well beyond U.S. borders.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is inspiring for all the countries in the world, in Brazil we love the United States, so that is why we are here, we love you guys,\u201d Pingitori said.<\/p>\n
