Happiest 4th of July, my dear friends!!!!! Tipping my hat to those brave souls who fought a war with little to their name except the quest for freedom from tyranny... and great land prospects!
God bless the Second Continental Congress and God bless America.
Sending a big shout out to our military heroes, past and present. Thank you for your service, your patriotism, your courage and valor. May the Lord keep you in His care, and may He guard us in these days of struggle to remain the land of the free and home of the brave!
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands 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. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Happy Independence Day, Seekerville as we pause to celebrate with friends and family--and remember those who've sacrificed for our freedom and the freedom of so many others around the world.
Mary, I love those words... And I'm watching 1776 either tonight or tomorrow JUST BECAUSE I love that glimpse at history and the men and women who sacrificed so much for us.
