"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 of 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."
It still amazes me that a group of ordinary citizens, armed with simple muskets and little else than the courage of their convictions, stood and fought against the mightiest military power of their day. They fought for what was right and dear to them. In our celebrations today, I hope to remember their courage and sacrifice and always, as a citizen, act in a manner that honors what they did.
