"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. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
On this day 237 years ago, one of the most brilliant of documents was penned and a new nation claimed its sovereignty. Today, as we celebrate our Independence Day, we thank and honor all of our country's great patriots who have taken their place in American history by standing up and protecting the rights that this great document grants us. Freedom isn't free, and may we always remember those who have fought for us to live free.
