 First, it wasn't a bunch of old fellas. In fact, one of those there, one of the signers that day was a man named Edward Rutledge. And on that day, on that meeting, July the 4th, 1776, believe it or not, Edward Rutledge was only 26 years old. That's right, only 26. And get this, Edward Rutledge's service to our country didn't end there.
