Independence Day


(image credit: National Center on Accessibility)

"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

"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. ..." (opening text of the Declaration of Independence)

May we always cherish our precious freedom, that so many fought and died for.

It sums up all that's best in us. It left me in tears.

And the largest re-enlistment ceremony in history. (via instapundit)
