Historical Documents: Remembering Our Foundation

“By Grabthar’s hammer… what a savings!” – Dr. Lazarus

Yep, the image you’re seeing is from the movie Galaxy Quest, where an entire alien race built their society around what they thought were “Historical Documents”. The “documents” turned out to be episodes of a fictional sci-fi show beamed into space.

Now while that is funny, it’s also kind of powerful. In that story, the aliens took those “documents” seriously. They treated them with honor and built their values, structure, and culture around them – even if they didn’t fully understand them.

Watching that movie made me think…what about us?

🇺🇸 America’s Historical Documents

The United States was founded on its own Historical Documents—the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and so many others written through the years that have guided our government, our freedoms, and our national identity.

These Documents aren’t just old pieces of paper, not at all! Instead, they are the bedrock of how we operate as a country. Also, they reflect hard-fought values, debates, and decisions that shaped the nation. But guess what? They are also super important!

⚠️ But What Happens When We Stop Respecting Them?

We are living in a time when some of our leaders appear willing to ignore, rewrite, or erase these foundational truths to serve their own agendas. This attitude from our politician’s is both unsettling and, frankly, dangerous.

When historical documents are discarded or twisted to fit a modern narrative, we risk losing the very truths and freedoms they were written to protect. And disregarding the words and intentions that laid the foundation for our country risks destroying the country itself.

🧾 Preserving Our Past for the Future

That’s why I’ve decided to create a page on this blog dedicated to preserving these real Historical Documents. It will be a growing archive where anyone can:

• Read and download official U.S. historical documents
• Share them with others
• And reflect on the values that shaped our country

This page is not political. It’s historical. And it’s about remembering who we are and where we came from.

Feel free to check out the page, download the documents, and revisit the words that built America.
And maybe, just Maybe, our leaders should too!
