Two hundred and fifty years ago, today John Hancock put his name first in the Declaration of Independence. And not humbly. It's easy to forget that by signing the Declaration, Hancock was committing an act of treason in the name of freedom. His firm remains a symbol of American founders' courage. Happy Independence Day.
