“…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness…
…We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America…solemnly publish and declare, that these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States…”
The thoughts and the images in our minds change as we get older from fireworks and cook outs to the sacrifices made to keep the United States of America free. There will be countless family celebrations, fireworks, music, and across the nation, revelry of every sort. But let us remember the cost those patriots paid for the country we love as they fought for its freedom.
May God Bless our great nation!
