"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...." (Paragraph 2 of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776)
Happy Independence Day to all of our readers!

ReplyDeletemy grandparents on my mothers side were Romanian and Hungarian, on my fathers side they were from Italy and Sicily. They didn't crawl under a fence to get here. They did it right. They, and their kids, my mother and father, were the most patriotic people that I ever knew. They flew the Americian flag every day. This is their day as well.
