Just a short note about history as we celebrate Memorial Day this year.

 

This June 15 marks 800 years since the Magna Carta was signed by King John on an island in the Thames river called Runnymede.  The Great Charter was the first time a King agreed to limits on his authority.  It is from the Magna Carta that our modern concept of freedom and law starts.
